Jesus is revealed not as some aloof, indifferent hero, but as the One who sympathizes with the sick, the hound of Heaven who chases after the wandering, the One who would salve with the oil of righteousness, and the Savior who would cover with His robe of righteousness.
The Kingdom and reign of God in Jesus is marked by lowliness, by humility, by the setting aside of one’s rights, by laying down one’s life, by dying, and specifically, by Jesus dying.
