What Did Jesus Do With Control?

In Episode 39 of What Now with Anna & Eric we ask the question, what did Jesus do with control?

Jesus’ life is a picture of giving up control. He is tempted in the desert when Satan offers him control of kingdoms and he says no. Peter reprimands him and tells him to keep control, but Jesus refuses. And then, in the Garden of Gethsemane the night when he is arrested, Jesus (who asks if there is another way to pay for sin) ultimately gives control of his life to God. What can we learn from Jesus when it comes to control?

What now?

  1. Look at your relationships, self-reflect and release control
  2. If you feel controlled – create some space, bring clarity and love the controller
