What Makes for Peace
Qumran’s hidden scrolls and Masada’s lofty fortress both reveal a profound lesson: human attempts at self-preservation—through zeal, isolation, or force—inevitably fall.

In the end, Jesus’ tears over Jerusalem remind us that real deliverance emerges from surrender to Him rather than from our own striving.
