Mark 16:15 says, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.” I met a unicorn yesterday while preaching the Gospel at Oregon’s largest Independence Day Parade. Unfortunately the young unicorn was mocking the proclamation of the Law and Gospel. We must ask ourselves if this behavior is innate to unicorns, or is there another explanation. I fear that it was actually a sinful descendant of Adam exercising his innate sin nature and not a unicorn at all. In all the annals of history there is not a single case of a sinful unicorn to be found, and while yesterday’s creature had a distinctly unicorn head, the rest of his body seemed to be that of a descendant of Adam. Despite the true identity of the heckling unicorn, join us in celebrating that yet another one of God’s creatures and a great many of his human counterparts heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
