“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
us 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.”
