Keeping Jesus Contained

Matthew 27:65 - 66

I was imagining the officials trying to make sure this whole Jesus episode is over now; how to stop the story continuing. They know that it has potential to spill over and affect the future if they don't manage it and they think they have Jesus contained.

I was thinking that today as christians we might even do that a little - guard the doors against the escape of Jesus into the rest of the world, in case he goes places and does things that we are not comfortable with.
This is personal, but is challenging to think that God needs the response of individuals to be that which accommodates him while he moves arounds the world, rather than tries to contain him, even though we might think we do it for his preservation.
