But Jesus crossed the great gulf from the Holy land of heaven, and he landed his boat in the defiled regions of the earth – because in mercy, he loved us.
Christians shouldn’t be timid people.
And when we turn to Jesus and trust in him, not only does he bring us out of the household of Satan – out of our bondage – but Jesus brings us into a new household. Into the household of God.
Jesus may not look like the king we’d expect to see, or seem like the king we would ask for. And yet, Jesus is precisely the king we need.
