The Buffalo Win--Against All Odds!

Tonight at our Drama Ministry Team meeting, we were chatting about that hysterically funny "Weiner Poopie" YouTube video I posted a couple weeks ago.  One of the team members mentioned an amazing clip about a herd of water buffalo he'd seen that made a huge impression on him.  When I got home I checked it out.  He was absolutely right.  

The video shows a group of buffalo accidentally wandering into the turf of a tribe of lions.  The lions attacked a young buffalo and settled down for a nice lunch.  Well, the other members of the herd had other ideas.  They stepped up and saved the young animal.  Click here to see this incredible film (Battle At Kruger - about 8 minutes).  Be sure to stay with it, watch it unfold.

It's like a little "parable of nature" because it totally demonstrates so many of those New Testament "one another" verses:  
  • accept one another;
  • be devoted to one another;
  • honor one another; 
  • bear one another's burdens; 
  • be compassionate to one another;
  • love one another.
A great analogy of the church that "gets it."  The thought that came to mind:  "The gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

It's an unbelievable little clip.
