詩篇 2:7-9；詩篇 23:4b
耶穌是杖。在古代的以色列，杖是用來刑罰、書寫、打仗、治理、行走、和帶領。耶穌說……

0910 JESUS is the ROD
JESUS is the ROD. In ancient Israel the rod was a stick used for punishing, writing, fighting, ruling, walking, and guiding. JESUS says…

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron, thou shalt shatter them like earthenware.’”
“Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.”
Psalms 2:7-9; Psalms 23:4b
