We unite with Jesus crucified as we endure the difficulties and hardships of our labor. Underneath our strengths and weaknesses, God’s power is working in and through us. We rest in his power when nothing seems to go right. We accept what happens, do what we can, then step aside and let God take over. . .We are in the best of company when we hand over our reins of control to Jesus. During his time on the cross, Jesus could seemingly not do anything. At that time his life seemed useless, but by being where he was, he redeemed the world.
