Striking The Shepherd

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

The devil worked through believers to see Jesus betrayed and crucified. He is working today to discredit God's shepherds. When conflict arises, people all too often deny their leader; and this is the point at which he is led away to be crucified!
