PEACE ON EARTH
A few years ago, I began collecting cards that portrayed "the lion and the lamb".
It truly is a beautiful symbol of peace on earth, and is a picture of that promised peace in the coming kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, whose birth we celebrate at Christmastime.
TFT: "A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him....
He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears; but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth.....
Righteousnes will be his belt, and faithfulness the sash around his waist.
The wolf will live with the lamb,
the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling together;
and a liitle child will lead them." Isaiah 11: 1-6

One of my very favorites:
"Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise."
I always seem to track towards the humble/meek people (The Lambs) vs. the Lions. Now don't get me wrong, I like seeing the lions and appreciate their strength.
