T he Gored Ox. The old saying goes that it all depends on whose ox is being gored. Old sayings usually have a very strong element of truth in them as do the tales of the old wives.Mark 8:36-38) (NASB). It does not depend on whose ox is being gored, it all depends on how much we love the Lord who shed His precious blood for the salvation of my soul and your soul. He who has an ear, let him hear.
