Yesterday I tried to rescue three goats from a pack of dogs
who were attacking them. The largest
goat eventually had to be put down because he was too badly injured. As I ran to the neighbors to help I watched a
drama that is so appropriate at Easter.
While one dog savagely attacked the big goat, the others ran into the
stable to attack the two smaller goats.
Though bleeding profusely, the big goat ran into the barn to help save
his two little companions. He drove the
dogs out at least twice while I was running to help.
In driving the dogs away from the smaller goats, he ended up
giving his life for his friends. One of
the little goats was hurt, but will survive.
The other was uninjured. Had it
not been for the big goat, those smaller goats would have been killed. Though dripping in blood from numerous
injuries, the goat kept fighting until we arrived to drive off the dogs.
Jesus laid down his life a sacrifice for you and me. Without the defeat of Satan, we all would
have been destroyed. Some of us “little
goats” have been injured in this life, but we will recover because Jesus
refused to quit until Satan was defeated.
