Our king came down to serve his peasants. The master of heaven came to give us the most precious thing he had. He came to give us himself – to give up his dying breath, so that we could be filled with His Spirit of life.
Jesus doesn’t play the virtue-signaling game like everybody else. His concern isn’t to follow manmade customs to gain people’s approval. His concern, instead, is for his relationship with God to be lived out in a way that’s truly right.
