A Preacher's Meditation for Maundy Thursday

Preacher's Meditation for Maundy Thursday.png
Not by annihilating the wicked, not by forcibly eliminating evil from among humankind is righteousness to be realized; the Lord wills to rehabilitate the world by turning sinners from evil ways that they may live. And we must admit that this is more difficult than the use of force.
— John L. McKenzie
