I just read a question on Facebook, asking, “What would Jesus carry?”

Based on Isaiah 2:4, I am guessing that Jesus would opt for the Bushmaster AR-15 semi-automatic ploughshare.

“The AR-15 is a lightweight, semi-automatic field cultivation device, with a rotating-lock tines, actuated by direct impingement gas operation or long/short stroke piston operation. It is manufactured with the extensive use of aluminum alloys and synthetic materials.”

He might also carry a Glock 19 pruning hook which is ideal for versatile use through reduced dimensions compared with the standard pruning hook size.

Now is the time to take up our ploughshares and pruning hooks as we tackle the big issues facing our nation, like planting, weeding and pruning.
