The greatest good. ( Acts 2 v 22 - 24 )

 I can assure you the question why?, in relation to so many things,is something  so many of us  ask, why the war in Ukraine?,why has  President Putin declared war on this country.? One reason is very simple he believes that they are part of Russia and have no right to call themselves a country.It is obvious he feels this very strongly,so strong that he is prepared by force  to bring them back to were ( as he see's it) they belong as part of Russia. We live in a fallen world,were the aspirations of people override everything else, is the taken of Ukraine by military force worth more than the terrible suffering inflicted on the population?.  Machiavellian is a belief that many rulers go by, basically it means for the greater good,Hitler believed that,that what he was doing was for the greater good,possible Putin  believes that .So it is, that so many evil's are carried out with that in mind,millions and millions of people died under Stalin ,he believed it was for the greater good,evil deeds can never be justified on the grounds of the greater good,never. The people who crucified our Saviour possible believed it was for the greater good, but in fact it was the greatest evil, ever perpetrated. Yet that death of Jesus our Saviour, carried out by evil men has brought the greatest good to mankind, a way back to God from the dark paths of sin.
