Peace?
Two thousand years ago, at the beginning of a new century and a new
millennium, in the city of Jerusalem under Roman occupation, Jesus Christ
answered a question of one of the leading religious figures of His day.
And the answer that Jesus gave him is the solution today to three of the
major problems facing us in this new millennium: poverty, pollution and
conflict.
As Jesus gave the solution to these problems, He
directed the attention of the religious leader, and thus our own
attention, not to the problems in the world but to the source of those
problems, which is in the human heart. The solution is spiritual rebirth.
Jesus said, "You must be born
again,"(1) because we need a new mind to know God and to understand
others. We need a new heart to love God and to love others. We need a new
spirit of reconciliation with God and forgiveness toward others.
The Bible says that all of us have sinned, and we
fall short of the glory of God.(2) God created us in His own image with a
capacity to know the Creator in a personal and eternal relationship, but
we rebelled against God and disobeyed Him. With that act of disobedience
sin entered the human race, and as a result, we were separated from God.
