Severe remedy [ Isaiah 53]

In spite of the fact that mankind, having intelligence beyond any other created being,we appear to be intent on destroying each other.As I read history of accounts of the second world war,the cruelty of the nations on those they considered inferior.Even in this the 21st century, I read of the awful cruelties being perpetrated by political powers now,it is unbelievable,but sad to to say it is true.It all reminds me that human intelligence does not guarantee ,nations and individuals from acting in the most awful way.A parent abuses or kills their child,it appears that they act in the most unintelligent way,it does not make sense,what is the answer? A man was being very critical of the sacrifice of Christ,he asked a question, was it really necessary for Christ to die such an extreme death?.The answer is yes ,because man's condition is critical,man's dilemma is so terrible, ,so much so that the only answer God could come up with,was the sacrifice of His son on the altar of Calvary.Severe conditions often demand severe remedies, let none of us make light of sin,or the gravity of man's condition,God doesn't.
A  prayer..../Holy God we acknowledge our sinfulness,,and praise You for providing the answer through Your son Jesus, and His sacrificial death Amen /
