In Colorado, we frequently hear of climbers who suffer devastating injuries - or die - while free climbing.  We learn from the Gospels that Jesus did not come to this earth to necessarily keep us from earthly dangers, that he did not come here to be a king in this world.  But he did come to be our eternal king.  While he does not keep us from free-climbing in our earthy lives, he is there to help us from free-climbing in our spiritual lives.
