Illustration
Isaiah 55:1-9
Pope Francis visited the United States a few months ago. From a somewhat cynical perspective, we might describe his visit as nothing out of the ordinary. The pope can be seen as just another aging religious leader who is not as steady on his feet as he once was. His speaking voice is no longer strong. As a preacher, few (if any) would describe him as a “stem-winder.”
