Famous Pairs

Do these ring a bell with you? Abbott and Costello. Martin and Lewis. Sonny and Cher. Amos and Andy. Barnum and Bailey. Batman and Robin. The Lone Ranger and Tonto. Burns and Allen. Laurel and Hardy. Lewis and Clark. Luci and Desi. Rodgers and Hammerstein. Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. Rowan and Martin. Simon and Garfunkel. Smith and Wesson. Lennon and McCartney. Starsky and Hutch. Tarzan and Jane. Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Paul and Silas.

All these are famous pairs either in fact or fiction. But none of them would be what they were or are without the other. Truly, people complement one another or complete one another, help one another and make one another better, that is, if the pairing is good or great. People draw strength from one another for life’s trials. What about “Jesus and you”?
