The early winter of December in Virginia was cool and quiet.
Outside, sleet was falling, frost formed on the windows, and the field was quiet as the wild animals were all falling asleep.
As frost and snow covered this land, the world was cloaked in a monotonous white. As the snow clouds obscured the weakly shining sun, shadows soon settled.
Under those shadows.
He stood.
Various apostles knelt.
And beyond the door, thousands of people were waiting for them.
And to the apostles, He spoke softly:
"A certain man told his servant to clean my house and tend to my sheep."
He gestured as if pointing to a subordinate. Then the next moment, He picked up a broom that had been placed beside Him and swept away the dust that had fallen in His room.
"Then the servant, like this, took up a broom and cleaned various rooms, took up a cloth and wiped the windows and frames, gathered scattered things and put them in boxes, and dusted off the dusty furniture."
