The King who exceeds our expectations

Published: April 10, 2022, 10 a.m.

In order for a world full of sinners to have a Father and a home to return to, God’s Son had journey far from home. He had to enter the last place the Prince of Life belonged - the grave. But thankfully, when he entered his tomb, he didn’t go alone. He buried all our baggage with him. Today we see Jesus bury humanity’s endless attempts at seizing power. In our world, power dynamics are almost always in play. Those who don’t have power want it. Those who do have power want to keep it. In contrast, Jesus – who possesses all power as Lord – willingly surrendered his power and placed himself in the hands of his enemies. He willingly laid down his life and, as a result, has now been exalted.
