“For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus.”
1 Timothy 2:5 NLT
Paul went on to say, ‘He, Jesus, was revealed and just the right time’.Timing is impeccable with God. I don’t know why God chose to wait several thousand years until the Romans were occupying Israel, but He did. He came into a world that was looking in the wrong direction, they wanted a deliverer from oppression. Yet, Jesus saw a more sinister oppression, sin. He came as a deliverer from the kingdom of darkness, He represented the kingdom of light.
Into this time when the disparity between east and west is ever massive, and the greed of mankind drives the machine comes this gospel message: only Jesus can set us free, truly free.
I am about to go and live in a country that lusts for the wealth of the west. This lust dulls the ears and clouds to eyes. Nepal has its hand out to the west. It wants dollars not Jesus. However, Jesus is the only solution. He is the saviour of mankind. He is true freedom from eternal bondage. Amen!
