The Village Shepherd
Is It Fair?
Sermon
There is a church on the top
of Mount Nebo in Jordan, which is visited by many tourists and pilgrims. The
church is built over the site of the place where God spoke to Moses and showed
him the Promised Land, which Moses had travelled so long to find. Outside the
church is a pole with the symbols of Moses, entwined snakes, recalling the time
before the wanderings when God changed Moses' staff into a snake which ate up
all the other snakes conjured up by Pharaoh's court magicians.
