Who says the Bible doesn't rival good fiction? Revered icons being toppled by small boxes. Something troublesome being passed around, like a miscreant schoolboy being expelled from on school after another. The passage preached on has all this.
But there is also a very serious side. Drastic consequences befall all those who hold God in contempt. And even though this relates to events three thousand years ago, as the preacher reminds us... God doesn't change.
