In life, we all like things to go the way we expect them to go. In every good and bad situation, we want to have an idea in mind of what the results will end up being. We know that if situation A happens, then we’ll end up with result B. If we break a rule, we know we can expect some sort of consequence.

Knowing what to expect can help us not only to feel safe but can guide us when it comes to making decisions. But what about the unexpected? What about the things that we can’t anticipate or that take us by surprise?

When we think about Jesus, we know He was much more than people expected. Instead of coming to earth to judge people who were doing wrong, Jesus showed them that there was a better way. He always pointed out a path towards redemption.

Even though we deserve the consequences of our actions, Christ uses His power and authority to help guide us towards a better life.
