Jesus was empty of self and overflowing with grace. It is no wonder that He clashed with a humanity so diametrically opposite. The clash cost Him dearly, but even that cost is His gracious gift to us. They picture a cute little lamb playing in a sun-drenched meadow. In reality, it is an image of slaughter and sacrifice.
Sin is a deadly debt.
Jesus paid in full. The way to faith and to faithfulness is not mysterious. God's grace comes to us in the waterfall of Word and Sacraments. It's all for you. John the Baptizer urged his listeners to empty themselves and get ready to be filled with God.
