Beautiful Contradictions

From a recent A.W. Tozer devotional …

God has revealed so many glorious contradictions in the lives and conduct of genuine Christian believers that it is small wonder that we are such an amazement to this world.

The Christian is dead and yet he lives forever.  He died to himself and yet he lives in Christ.

The Christian saves his own life by losing it, and he is in danger of loosing it by trying to save it.

It is strange but true that the Christian is strongest when he is weakest and weakest when he is strongest.  When he gets down on his knees thinking he is weak, he is always strong.

The Christian is in least danger when he is fearful and trusting God and in the most danger when he feels the most self-confident.

He is most sinless when he feels the most sinful, and he is the most sinful when he feels the most sinless.

The Christian actually has the most when he is giving away the most; and in all of these ways, the Christian is simply putting into daily practice the teachings and example of Jesus Christ, his Savior and Lord!
