11/26/14 NOT FOREVER AND NOT FOR LONG
The self proclaimed and popularly appointed "saviors" of our world (with accomplishments in government, academics, economics, science, communications, humanitarianism) are given opportunity after opportunity, and fail miserably, but still are held in highest esteem by their follow-ship.
Jesus, came, lived without sin, changed lives for the better, healed the sick, raised the dead, offered peace to a society in confusion and was killed (as He gave Himself to be the sacrifice for all mankind). Jesus rose from the dead, promising eternal life to those who turned from sin and turned to faith. He sent His followers into the world with the message of reconciliation; into a world of anger and hatred, with a message of love; into a world of self serving and division, with a message of self denial and unity (with God and our neighbors).
Through the years His message and His followers have been instruments of peace, compassion, true charity, health, and community well being. He has quelled wars, diverted disasters, raised the ruined to greatness. He is the only One Who has proved Himself to be worthy and capable to lead mankind to a better existence. STILL, He is resisted and rejected. Tomorrow will be more of the same.
The false hopes of this world will leave mankind in despair, while the true Deliverer will be denounced and renounced.
But not forever, and not for long.
