“If God had perceived that our greatest need was economic, he would have sent an economist. If he had perceived that our greatest need was entertainment, he would have sent us a comedian or an artist. If God had perceived that our greatest need was political stability, he would have sent us a politician. If he had perceived that our greatest need was health, he would have sent us a doctor.
But he perceived that our greatest need involved our sin, our alienation from him, our profound rebellion, our death; and he sent us a Savior.”
~ D.A. Carson, A Call to Spiritual Reformation
He sent a Savior to the economists and comedians and artists that he made; to the politicians and doctors. To the mothers and sons and friends.
And to you. To me.
He rescues us. From worshiping economies and entertainment and arts; from politics and health. From worrying and studying and clinging.
And from yourself. From myself.
O, what a Savior. O, what a Friend.
Look to Jesus. Only Jesus.
Isaiah 45:22 (KJV)
“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.”
