Jesus is uniquely different from all of us. This is something we can universally agree on but when it comes to even how we understand concepts or culture it becomes even more apparent of just how unique and different he really is. Think about the idea of bringing justice to a circumstance, we typically think of a courtroom setting with lawyers, judges, bailiffs, and those accused. Justice is served via a gavel, arguments, opinions being heard, personalities taking shape. Yet, justice in the kingdom is done so by a servant who doesn’t raise his voice but instead serves the accused. Justice in the kingdom is accomplished no matter what the circumstances are because the servant doesn’t grow tired or weary. The greatest part of the servant is bringing justice to the weak is also the King of this kingdom. In a society where pomp and circumstance is given to the elite, the one who is actually elite among us chose to serve us so that we could enjoy him and his kingdom forever.

Isaiah 42:1-9
