Good Medicine

We started the cows down the chute. Dad would catch them with the head gate at the end and I would give the cows their medicine. One very long-horned cow got through the head gate so quick that Dad caught her just in front of her back legs.

I grabbed her around the head and was trying to hold her and told Dad to give her the medicine. However, Dad pulled a pair of nose clamps out of his pocket and put them on her.

He pulled her head around to the side of the chute, wrapped the rope on the end of the nose clamps around a post, held it with one hand, and said, “Now you give her the medicine.”

Stop wrestling with your sin. Jesus was put on a cross and buried in a borrowed tomb, but on the third day He arose.  He put the “nose clamps” on death and the devil and became the cure for our sin.

“Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29)
