Status Updates From The Bruised Reed

The more antiquated language takes a little more concentration, but that yields rewards in better understanding. It’s such a gracious classic work.

The victory lies not with us, but with Christ, who has taken on him both to conquer for us and to conquer in us. The victory lies neither in our own strength to get it, nor in our enemies’ strength to defeat it. If it lay with us, we might justly fear. But Christ will maintain his own government in us and take part against our corruptions.
