When our world does not make sense
September 28, 2017
Talking with neighbors recently, we all agreed that politics are crazy these days and sometimes the world seems chaotic. This may seem new to us, but not really. Wars come regularly and did so in biblical times. Families have had haters since Cain killed Able. Power corrupts politicians and did so with Old Testament kings. Small stakes or large, selfishness prevails.
Embracing Jesus throws light on all this. We understand the conflict. Humans aren’t born good hearted. We’re born prone to sin. This results in all we see today. Embracing Jesus we see our solution. Freedom to resist evil and selfishness, greed and taking advantage of those less powerful. Forgiveness and the power to do good regardless of the circumstances around us.
