*Under the wings of the Most High*

When some Pharisees warned Jesus that Herod wanted to kill him, his answer was surprising:

**“Go and tell that fox…”** (Luke 13:32)

Shortly afterward, Jesus lamented over Jerusalem, saying that how often he had wanted to gather her children, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but they were not willing.

The fox is a predator. The hen protects her chicks, even putting her own life in danger.

And Jesus uses these two images almost at the same time.

But there is something extraordinary in this comparison: the one who presents himself as a hen is also the one to whom all authority in heaven and on earth has been given.

**He is Lord over the visible and the invisible world.**

## Under his wings

The psalmist already proclaimed that whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High finds rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

And he added:

**“He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge.”** (Psalm 91:4)

Jesus wanted to gather the children of Jerusalem under his wings. But they were not willing.

**And what about us?**

Even today, we can know the Scriptures, profess our faith and call Jesus Lord, without truly submitting to his authority.

We live in a world that, according to the Scriptures, is under the power of the Evil One. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces that our eyes cannot see.

However, Christ has all authority.

**To dwell under the wings of the Most High is more than seeking protection. It is to acknowledge his lordship, hear his voice and walk in the Spirit.**

Because he himself asked:

**“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord’ and not do what I say?”** (Luke 6:46)

**Perhaps the question is not whether the Lord wants to welcome us, but whether we truly want to live under his wings.**
