Being protected and secure is important to us. We "lock our doors." We "put on our seatbelts." We "use the handrail."

The process of shearing sheep (usually yearly) doesn’t hurt the sheep but they don’t like it. They are put in a variety of uncomfortable positions and appear much different (seemingly humiliated) afterwards. Sometimes sheep are purposely deprived of food and water so that they are too weak to struggle against the process. Most often they are silent. The Bible teaches that Jesus is the lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world. Like a sheep, He was willingly shorn of all His rights, even to the point of death. “He was oppressed and a...

Jesus Christ has the authority as the Son of God and the Prince of Peace to give us peace. The peace He gives is described...

The snowballs were collected up by Katie Leid, passed out again in their wadded-up shape. Three people read the questions they had picked out of the basket. They read the questions of others, not their own quest...
