It was Machiavellion in his book 'the Prince' ,who emphasized the greater good,it was Stalin who slept with a copy of that book under his pillow. Stalin who was an athiest applied that phrase to justify all the wicked things he did,And of course Hitler in his madness and evilness,would have applied this to his obsession of exterminating the Jews,and those who followed him agreed with him.As Christians can we take on that phrase? yes we can,but not to justify doing evil of anykind.so let us consider the greatest good we can do for mankind.The greatest good that we can do for mankind is to tell them about Jesus, it's as simple as that,yes it may be simple,but many of us don't do it. The question is why? after all it is good news, sins can be forgiven,the power of sin can be broken in peoples lives.They can stop walking in the darkness, and start walking in the light,no longer is their eternal destiny hell,and the awfulness of that, instead they will be going to heaven,and the wonderfulnes of that,just because we told them about a wonderful Saviour.
