Peace

Peace

By George Feldman

A story is told of two artists commissioned to compete in painting a picture depicting peace. One painted a valley of beautiful trees and flowers surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The other painted a storm-tossed scene, perhaps something like the picture above, in which a little bird was shown peacefully and securely nested in the cleft of a rock. The judges decided on this picture as being more true to life.

We don’t have this division today, but it has been, and that is Jew and Gentile.

Next we find that the Lord needed to move on because He had an appointment to meet a woman of Samaria at Jacob's well.
