"Man ties children to a palm tree, as worst cyclone in a decade hits Bangladesh", was the headline on Canada’s “National Post” on November 20, 2007. It was a storm “like a hundred demons” and killed 3,000 people. But it was deprived of the lives of two children ages five and thirteen. They had been tied to a tree when the winds of 240 km per hour struck the coast. In His Father’s will, the Lord Jesus was nailed to Calvary’s cross, not to save Himself from the fury of an offended God, but to save us from it, and to pay the price for our sins.— Arnot McIntee
