Proverbs 28:1 says, “The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, But the righteous are bold as a lion.” Why is that do you think? Why do the wicked flee when no one is pursuing?

What Can God Do?
Calvin was asked, “What was God doing before He created the heavens and the earth?” He responded, “Creating Hell for people who ask such questions.” Of course, he was not serious, just making a serious point that “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, (WHY?) that we may do all the words of this law.” (Deut. 29:29) Many things are reveled for us to know, and to do. Master these and leave the secret things to God.

The Necessary Death of The King
Love and hate reach its pinnacle in Jesus Christ. He is the dividing line in human destiny. He is the dividing line in human attitudes. . . you will see (it) in a massive way in the mob scene that occurs in Jerusalem. Everything is peaking out right here. Love has reached its climax.
