Whenever I see Jesus getting out of the trap and turning the tables on His adversaries, I want to cheer for him. I feel like Pippin in The Return of the King when he says of Gandalf driving away the Nazgul and saving the life of Faramir: "Go, White Rider!" If you are a fan of Tolkien and have read The Return of the King or--better yet--listened to the Recorded Books version, then it is very likely that you know what I mean. Pippin has the greatest admiration for, dependency on, and love of Gandalf. (Gandalf is a Christ-figure.) I have the same "sentiments" toward my Savior, Jesus the Christ. My brethren in Jesus, I think that you do, too! Praised be Jesus Christ, now and forever!
