I was singing an old Larry Norman song this morning. One phrase has stuck with me through the day:
Don't ask me for the answer, I've only got one:
That a man leaves his darkness when he follows the Son.
Yep. That’s pretty much sums it up as I look around me. A world pandemic. The killing of George Floyd. Climate change. And now the Taliban.
Add to that earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes and forest fires. Myanmar, Hindu fundamentalists, terror attacks, random shootings.
To claim to have answers to the politics, the science or the religious hatred is to claim to be foolish.
I have no answers. But one.
Yet that answer overcomes every political motive, every advance of violence, every voice of hatred.
That answer is Jesus.
He had no servants, yet they called Him Master.
He had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.
He had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer.
He had no army, yet kings feared Him.
He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.
He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
His name is Jesus.
He came as God’s Son. He died for you and me. And He’s
still changing lives today. Ask Him to change yours.
