They drew a circle that shut me out —
Heretic, rebel, thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took them in!
“Outwitted” by Edwin Markham
This power to win through love belongs to the Christian, and especially to the Christian.
This power belongs to the Christian. It is a gift from Christ. Christ won through His love. He is the stone that the builders rejected. He is the outcast overcomer.
And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? (Mark 12:10)
We rejected Him; then,
God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
Having such a champion, how should we then live, lead, and love?
