The Sign of the Times: Part 3

From the book: "The Life and Teachings of Jesus, volume 1" by Gordon Lindsay.

Brother Gordon writes..

   God became man that he might save man. Nothing is more obvious than the fact that humanity, to survive must have a savior. 

  The wise men of this world, the philosophers and intellectuals, are preoccupied in devising ways and means for man to save himself.

  The utter failure of mans best efforts to become his own savior is reflected by today’s appalling breakdown and the disintegration of the very foundation of society.

   Today, we see law and order and even the basic principles of common decency rapidly giving way to lawlessness, anarchy, crime, immorality, perversion and wickedness of so revolting of nature as to shock the sensibilities of all but the most depraved.

  The corruption of society proceeds at an ever accelerating pace, although never before in history have the masses enjoyed such affluence or such educational opportunities.

  Notwithstanding, the proliferation of psychiatrists, psychologists, and physicians of the mind, all appear helpless to stem the tide of social disintegration.

  The number of emotionally disturbed persons in proportion to the population continues to increase at an alarming rate.

  Man has indeed proven beyond all shadow of doubt that he cannot save himself. Vainly he tries to lift himself to heaven by his boot heels.

  The only answer to the world’s ills is Christ. In him alone is the secret of redemption: in him alone is the power to regenerate fallen human nature and to heal and restore the sin-sick soul.

Be Blessed!
