“He sent us a Savior” by D.A. Carson

“If God had perceived that 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 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 that our greatest need involved our sin, our alienation from him, our profound rebellion, our death; and He sent us a Savior.”

–D.A. Carson, A Call to Spiritual Reformation (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker, 1992), 109.
