Jesus doesn’t help us out of life’s messes by offering advice or even lending a helping hand. His footprints prove he’s walked through the worst of life’s messes for us. Those same footprints have paved our path out. This week we see how Jesus makes the terrain that is closest to home familiar to him. While we like to set up walls to keep God out of certain areas of our life, Jesus steps up to the doors in those walls and is determined to come in. He comes to us expecting to be our king. However, he wins his crown in the most unexpected of ways: he surrenders to his enemies rather than crushing them.
