What if Jesus didn’t rely on divine shortcuts? What if the cross truly hurt, the temptations were real, and the battle against Sin demanded everything within him? The good news isn’t merely that God loves sinners—it’s that Jesus defeated Sin as a fully human man empowered by the Spirit. And if that’s true, then the same Spirit now at work in him is at work in us.

“Woke” began as a warning: don’t sleep through oppression. Somewhere along the way, it became a political insult. But what if the instinct behind it is deeply biblical?
