“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.”
