Christmas - Our Need to Be Rescued
We add problem to problem. Dilemma to dilemma. Disappointment to disappointment. The very effort to dig ourselves out of the holes that we’ve dug only serves to dig them that much deeper. We preach the commitment to the effort as the victory because the victory that we promised never materialized, and therefore we are left having to save face and salvage the failure by believing that we’re accomplishing something. We fancy ourselves as rather ingenious, but the outcome of our supposed ingenuity is anything but genius, even though we proclaim it as such. Our efforts to rescue ourselves only serves to enhance our need to be rescued. Rescue. It’s hard to admit that we need it.
"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
- Jesus Christ
