The Devil's Mousetrap
Job asks a fervent, but leading question:
Although I am perhaps guilty of taking things slightly out of context, I cannot help but make the connections I see within the day. I read in Os Guiness, The Last Christian on Earth, of a reference to St Augustine referring to the cross of the Lord as the Devil's Mousetrap (Sermo 130.2). And of course the answer (not entirely to Job's point) - yes...and it caught the Devil in the bargain.
