Dear Fellow Preacher,
Throughout the conflict with Iraq, administration officials have stated confidently: "The outcome is not in doubt." With American forces moving at will through Iraq's capital city, victory certainly seems imminent. When issues of victory and loss are under consideration, however, it is important to remember that God's greatest victory was counted as loss by worldly standards. Jesus' ride into Jerusalem initiated the final steps to be taken in which all was lost, yet all was to gain.
