“If God had perceived 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 our greatest need involved our sin, our alienation from him, our
profound rebellion, our death; and he sent us a Savior.”
-- Donald A. Carson in A Call for Spiritual Reformation

Thank you, pastor Tom, for this reminder (and the others). But now, if Christ is indeed our "all in all", is He also not the greatest Economist, the greatest Comedian and Artist, the greatest Politician (along the lines of the Wonderful Councillor, etc., from Isaiah) and the Great Physician?
And then to know that God purposed that as well. Jacob from Langley.
