“If man had his way, the plan of redemption would be an endless and bloody conflict. In reality, salvation was bought not by Jesus' fist, but by His nail-pierced hands; not by muscle but by love; not by vengeance but by forgiveness; not by force but by sacrifice. Jesus Christ our Lord surrendered in order that He might win; He destroyed His enemies by dying for them and conquered death by allowing death to conquer Him.”

This reminds me of a song we sing in kids' Sunday school. It's about God's kingdom being upside-down. And that's why we have to follow HIS way - cuz our way will get us nowhere!
Thanks for posting this quote. It's a good one to ponder. :)
