Is Christ your "crutch"?

Have you ever heard this? Sometimes Christian's are characterized as feeble-minded and needy — needing, you know, a "crutch" to sort of make life work. But I would say our condition is far, far worse than that. A "crutch" provides stability while using one's own strength. But God declares that we are not merely hurting, not merely wounded or needy, but DEAD in our trespasses and sins (Eph. 2:1). Ouch! But as lifeless as we were, Christ made us alive by faith in His finished work on the cross. A crutch? Not even close. A "life-support system"? Well that I might agree with. How humbling. Nevertheless, in Christ we walk as living among the "dead."
