"He provided the way for people to be made pure from sin. Then he sat down at the right hand of the King, the Majesty in heaven.” Hebrews 1:3b
Jesus is the final and complete word of God to
man because he has solved the deepest problem in human life — the problem of
human sinfulness. Everybody today is asking, in the face of some of the tragic
things that are happening, What's wrong with humanity? What's wrong with
life? Why is the world in a such a mess? Why are our papers filled with murder
and violence and hate and corruption and darkness? The answer of Scripture
universally is, Man's sin, or, to put it even more realistically, and
more helpfully, to us, Man's selfishness. That is what lies at the
root of it all, the terrible taint that all of us possess that can never be
washed away by our own efforts.
