Two Legs and A Piece of An Ear

Two Legs and A Piece of An Ear

The unwavering faithfulness of our Good, Great and Glorious Shepherd

"Thus says the LORD: "As a shepherd takes from the mouth of a lion two legs or a piece of an ear…" (Amos 3:12)

A Crucified Shepherd

My Good, Great and Chief Shepherd…

Everyone Needs a Shepherd

He always always always always leads His sheep, as He leads, in triumph… and through them He diffuses the aroma of the presence of Himself and His knowledge — to the likeminded it is the reminders of life and grace and hope and joy and love and peace and beauty found only in Him but to others it's a stench of rottenness and death that they want no part of. As David reminds us: "With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright. With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward/twisted/crooked thou wilt shew thyself unsavory/an unwanted stench." (Psalms 18:25-26 ; 2 Samuel 22:26-27)

We stink to them because our God stinks to them yet the god they fashion in their twisted hearts smells good to them but those Jesus freaks stink…

"Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph IN Christ, and THROUGH us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in EVERY place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life… (2 Corinthians 2:14-17)
