I am Mephibosheth. He was lame in both feet, totally helpless, totally dependent on charity, unclean when it came to worship, probably an outcast due to his disability. I am also unclean before God because of my sin, an outcast when it comes to his prescence, unable to help myself and totally dependent on his grace. The only reason I can come into God's prescence is because of Jesus. I can come confidently, not in myself and what I've done, but in who He is and what He's done.
Christianity is a crutch for the weak? If you've got a broken leg, you need a crutch. Otherwise you're just an idiot trying to walk off a broken leg. We need to recognise our wekaness and depend on His grace.
