Happy Easter

I often lament the upsurge in religious zealotry among the right wing in this country. But I also share something with them. I want our nation to be Christian. And by that, I mean that I hope the actions of America throughout the world will be Christ-like. The lion who was also a lamb.

the lion refers to His second coming
the lamb refers to His first coming
the lion speaks of His majesty
the lamb speaks of His meekness
as lion He is sovereign
as lamb He is Savior
as lion He is Judge
as lamb He is judged
the lion speaks of the government of God
the lamb speaks of the grace of God
