“That’s what it means? Wow, I’m screwed!”
Jesus often used this tactic with people who thought they were good enough. He wanted them to realize their utter helplessness and through themselves on the mercy of God by trusting in the Deliverer. The challenge that lies before me and before all of us who have trusted in Christ to bring people to this same realization. Thankfully, we are not on our own. We are mere instruments in the hands of an all-powerful God.
