A Picture of Gospel Peace

Commentators widely agree that the imagery of predators and prey living in harmony is a powerful allegory. It illustrates the transformative power of the gospel, which changes violent and cruel human hearts into gentle ones. When people submit to Christ, former 'wolves' and 'lions' can live in peace with the 'lambs' within the community of faith.
