Every election season, candidates for office hope the perfect campaign slogan will win people’s votes. One leader, however, offers far more than slogans and is looking for far more than our vote. Jesus promises us that in him we find everything we need for this life and eternal life. He calls us to trust and follow him as our Savior and King. This week, Jesus campaigns for a crown by saying, “Don’t be afraid.” One of the primary jobs of elected officials is to ensure the safety of its citizens. It’s only natural that we expect the same of Jesus, our King. He ensures our safety, however, not by guaranteeing that all danger and evil will be kept away. Rather, he promises that no matter what we might go through, he is with us. He gives us eyes of faith to focus on his presence rather than our circumstances.
