I have just finished watching the movie,'Schindler's List', a very moving movie,about a German who managed to rescue 1,200 Jews from death.The movie ends with Schindler speaking to the Jews he saved, and their guards,one of the things he said was,'' 6 years of mass murder has ended''. It raises a lot of questions we don't know the answer to,why the carnage?,why the Jews ?,why?.And yet it bears out the truth at to what God's word declares about mankind, that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God ( Romans 3 v 23 ). You may have heard this before , you may not like this truth,or the fact that we are told that our hearts, (nature) is deceitful and desperately wicked ( Jeremiah 17 v 9 ). Can any person give a more true answer?,no ,do not think it will not happen again, the history of mankind,shows us how soon,the facade of respectability can evaporate in a moment,and the beast of our fallen humanity is let loose,to commit unspeakable evil . I found myself saying,there are so few Schindler's,yet even Schindler's are sinners, everyone shows there fallen human nature to some degree.The reality is this ,we do not want to know of the evil we are capable of. God amazingly loves humanity, the answer again shows man at his worse,and God manifesting a love that's indescribable and mind blowing,when Jesus came and was put to death on an infamous cross,taking sinners judgement,and so enabling God to forgive and forget our sins,this happens when we ask Him to be our Saviour.Philip Bliss wrote about Jesus,'Bearing shame and scoffing rude,in my place he stood; Sealed my pardon with his blood,Hallelujah what a Saviour'.Dear fellow sinner why not trust Him to be your Saviour and know the joy of knowing forgiveness of all your sins.
