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 steps into our natural assumptions about how God will operate in our lives. It’s natural to think that in order receive divine favor or blessing, we must earn it. We must pull the right divine levers or push the right divine buttons, so to speak. However, Jesus came to demonstrate how God does his greatest through what seems to be smallest. He doesn’t want us to work for his blessing. He wants us to trust that he will freely give it.
