“Jesus’ voice flattened armed solders, yet He permitted these self-declared enemies to stand up again. Jesus had angels at His disposal, yet declined to dispatch them. We dare not mistake these choices for passivity, resignation, or weakness. This dimension of strength was the fruit of a power fully submitted to love, the discipline of obedience-inspired restraint.”
