The well-known preacher Barbara Brown Taylor says,
"Jesus won’t be king of the jungle in
this or any other story. What he will be is a mother hen, who stands between
the chicks and those who mean to do them harm. She has no fangs, no claws, no rippling
muscles. All she has is her willingness to shield her babies with her own body.
If the fox wants them, he will have to kill her first."
Jesus came to be a suffering servant and live a life of self-sacrifice. And he calls us to that
life as well.
