The Weakness Of God
by Frederick L. Cuthbertson
Reviewed by Rudelle Thomas
Frederick L. Cuthbertson has once again used his writing to lead us into deeper understanding of God. This book shows us God in the flesh, JESUS! It shows us that He was as human as you and I. What we go through, He went through. It shows us some of His characteristics. Jesus cried, showing men that it is ok to cry. He was meek and compassionate, yet He still used the authority given Him by God the Father.
Though Jesus was in the flesh, He did not walk after the flesh. Many times He stated that what He said and did was the will of His Father. Jesus knew that the only way He'd be successful in doing what God sent Him to do, was by sticking to God's plan. We are to take that example in our own lives, and "stick to the plan" God has given us for our lives. Jesus knew the word of God. He not only spoke it, preached it and taught it, but He LIVED it!
This book was written to demonstrate how to be God's man in a sinful world. Though I am a woman, I was thoroughly blessed by "The Weakness Of God" and was able to look at my own weaknesses in a different light. This book helps us to understand that our success in walking out the steps that God has ordered for us to follow, is in conforming to the attributes of Jesus. Men, it's ok to let that "macho" attitude go. Being macho and being authorative are not the same thing. Being macho may impress 'people,' but it will not impress God! He wants you (all of us) to be more like Jesus. He gave us an example to follow. I encourage everyone to get a copy of this book and really apply it to your own life. It will change your attitude and way of thinking!
