3 Questions is a weekly podcast from Southern Hills Baptist Church. Each week our ministers will answer three questions submitted by the congregation.

1. C. S. Lewis says in a letter answering a question on children’s Christian literature and the analogy of the lion with Jesus in the Narnia fairytales:

“Of course. ‘Gentle Jesus’, my elbow! The most striking thing about Our Lord is the union of great ferocity with extreme tenderness. (Remember Pascal? ‘I do not admire the extreme of one virtue unless you show me at the same time the extreme of the opposite virtue. One shows one’s greatness not by being at an extremity but by being simultaneously at two extremities and filling all the space between.’)”

This would seem to be in line with Ecclesiastes chapter 3 and I would like to hear your thoughts on verse 8 in relation to the Lewis and Pascal quotes. Thank you

2. Isaiah 19: 24-25, God refers to Egypt & Assyria as “His people”, & Israel as His inheritance...

3 Questions is a weekly podcast from Southern Hills Baptist Church. Each week our ministers will answer three questions submitted by the congregation.

1. I know this is random but I’m a bit confused. I know prophets are like John, David, Joshua, Moses, and they were prophets for God. In Matthew 21 verse 11 it says, “And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.” What does that mean, like Jesus is a prophet for God?
