Deuce (I pointed the to a member of our congregation who had loaned me the helmet and suit) is race car enthusiast and an engine mechanic. But he’s not just any old engine mechanic. In the past, people have hired him to come and work on the engines of their race cars. He’s been all over the United States fine tuning the motors of professional racers.

But wait. Don’t you think there were auto mechanics closer to home? Weren’t there garages nearby where these owners could have taken their race cars? Why hire Deuce to come all that way and pay him such a high price for his services?

Why? Because these aren’t just any old engines. These were high-performance vehicles, and Deuce knows those engines… he knows what makes them work. He knows how they’re put together and what it takes to get the best performance from them.

The Bible tells me that Jesus has the same ability and knowledge about us.
