Jesus Has Other Sheep (Lent Roll 19)

"You cannot ask Jesus into your heart alone. He will ask, 'Can I bring my friends?'  You will look at his friends -- the poor, the marginalized, the oppressed -- and you will hesitate. But Jesus is clear, 'Only if I can bring my friends.'" 
Peter Storey

Be Angry but Not Sin (Lent Roll 18)

David R. Mace

Judgement Against Cain (Lent Roll 17)

"Whether we can take 'a life for a life' is one question; whether we should is another. Cain and Abel pose an answer. Rather than taking life for life and delivering a powerful message by killing Cain, God instead banished Cain from the community. To say the least, we must not be cavalier about death penalty decisions."
