Illustration
Acts 10:34-43
Leonard Sweet tells an old story about three African elders visiting the West. The visitors were asked: "How can you tell when night ends and day begins?"
The first man responded: "When I can distinguish the olive trees from fig trees, then I know that night is over and day has begun."
The second answered: "When I can see the forms of the animals across the Serengeti, I know that night is over and day has begun."
