Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Dec 4, 2025

The Great Reunion Series

Contributed by Pat Damiani on Mar 1, 2010

The object lesson of the two sticks pictures the great reunion that will take place at the return of Jesus.

I’ve never been a big fan of reunions. Somehow the idea of getting together with a bunch of people you haven’t seen or even talked to in years so that you can all try to impress each other just isn’t something that I look forward to. And as I get older, the thought of taking part ...read more
