The Subversive Paradox of Jesus' Kingship

Dane Orland wrote a book called gentle in lowly the byline is the heart of Christ for sinners and sufferers. He writes it's the most counterintuitive aspect of Christianity that we are declared right with God not once we begin to get our act together but once we collapse into honest acknowledgement that we never will. Jesus loves weak people he's a paradoxical upside down king, Dane says. Zechariah 9 is kind of a beautiful image of what all of our hearts long for like when Christian children were shot at an Amish commune this week I'm thinking of the last time some Christian children might not have been the last time.
