A shocking strategy for a king

No matter what the mess we might make in our lives, God doesn't wait to see if we're worth it before offering a helping hand. Instead, he reaches right into the mess with his grace and forgiveness. This week we see that the problem within us is our hostility toward God. When God surveys our condition he sees people raging against the exclusive claims of a sovereign God even as their hostility drives them to destruction. But God intervenes by sending his Son in humility to willingly suffer hostility that we might be spared from the just wrath of God and exalted to the highest heaven. God has intervened with humility in hostility!
