We’ve been exploring the question, "What if Jesus really is King… then what?" And the punchline is: He is! But what was it about Jesus that made Him God’s choice? Why did He fully please the Father? Tomorrow, we’ll take a closer look at the King Himself. What does His baptism reveal about His mission? How do His wilderness temptations expose the methods He refused to use? And how does His message shape how His mission continues today? Along the way, we’ll wrestle with some tough questions: What happens when we align with evil to accomplish good? Should the church do whatever it takes to draw people in? If not, why? Does the end justify the means in gospel ministry? Each of us must decide: Will we walk the way of the cross, or will we seek shortcuts through power?
