While tradition has told us that God will take this more violent approach on the Day of Judgment, Jesus always seems to choose a different way in Matthew. So, what if God and Jesus aren’t the King? What if this King represents Herod or Caesar? Afterall, those are the more likely candidates of enacting violence when they don’t get their way. Now, Debie Thomas’ main question was, ‘What if the unrobed man was Jesus?’ And last week’s parable introduced the possibility of Jesus not always being the Lord or hero figure in a parable.
