Godâs people hung onto the hope of a coming Savior, one who would subdue the oppressive Roman regime and demand justice. But when the Messiah came, he wasnât who they expected. He didnât come as a conquering King but as a humble servant. He didnât overthrow the Roman government, but encouraged paying taxes to Caesar. He wasnât praised by religious leaders ,but was despised and rejected. He didnât come to save us from our circumstances, but to save us from ourselves.
We canât save ourselves from sin, we canât look to one another, we need someone who is not among us, we need a rescuer, a savior who can save us from the inside out, from our sin. We need Jesus. Jesus is the real superhero! Help and teach us to serve others as you served us. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
