I agree Mel, at the Sermon on the Mount thousands flocked to see and hear Jesus but some were there looking to catch him in a snare. He is still the Lighthouse that shines through the great darkness, without that Lighthouse where would this Ship be? As that Church great Hymn proclaims. He today is still seeking and saving his lost sheep and he proclaims that His sheep hear his voice, so never despair, Jesus is building his Church and all the Powers of Hell cannot prevent it.
