The forensic analysis of Jesus' final footprint is crystal clear.

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. Tonight we see Jesus’ footsteps reach their final destination: his cross. In fact, all humanity’s footprints end at Jesus’ cross in a sense. Our endless journey to restore our broken relationship with God and find approval in him comes to an end on Calvary’s hill. There that work is completed. Just as Jesus rested at the successful completion of that work, so he has brought rest to all who trust in him.
