Isaiah 11:6 -- A picture of God's Kingdom

The lion and lamb on the Kitchener police logo is a good reminder of the strong and the weak living peacefully amongst each other but there is one more significant piece here "and a little child shall lead them".  We could think of this as David and Goliath yet another even more amazing story is the God of the universe decided the best way to communicate with us was to become the most vulnerable being around; a little baby.  What a brilliant way to take away fear.  Who could possibly be afraid of a baby?  The fear was in seeing all the angels in the announcement of His birth because such an important message didn't usually come from ordinary people like Shepherds; yet in God's Kingdom this is how He works.  He takes us as we are and works with us as He continues to interact and create in His Kingdom.
