Furthermore and more importantly what people need to hear and see in us is our humanity. Paul said that Christ was glorified in our weakness. Christians get the flu. Christians have business failures. Christians have marital difficulties and their children do not always grow up to be valiant men and women of God.
Christians say dumb things.
Christians struggle with their faith in God and in His ways. Christianity is not magic. Christianity waves no wand over a person s life exempting him of all difficulties. Christians experience self-doubt, temptations, and wrestle with how to live their faith on a consistent basis. While we certainly should not boast of sin or make light of it, unbelievers need to know that we experience difficulties.
