When All Seems Wrong

Many years ago, G.K. Chesterson was asked to write an essay on what was wrong with the world. Here is his succinct but deadly accurate reply.

Dear Sirs,

I am.

Sincerely yours,
G. K. Chesterton

The picture above illustrates all of what is right with the world. Over 2000 years have passed since Jesus' ministry on this earth ended in what almost everyone who witnessed its end saw as a brutal, awful bloody failure.

And yet, through what man intended for evil, God brought not just a temporary or band-aid fix. No, God brought forth reconciliation between a race stained forever with sin and His holy and righteous nature.

Isn't the cross beautiful?
