Two back-to-back parables in the Gospel of Luke show us that God doesn’t always do what we expect, but he does unpredictably more. God didn’t intend to overthrow the Romans, though that’s what was expected from their Messiah. God’s plan was bigger than conquering the evil of Rome. He came to conquer the evil in you and me. When God doesn’t do what we think he should do, it’s hard to believe it’s part of the plan. If you put God in a box, don’t be surprised if he comes busting out! God is faithful, not predictable.
