Our Greatest Need

I saw this quote on the Vitamin Z blog. Understanding our greatest need is essential to understanding the gospel. This quote expresses a core truth that I wish all Christians would grasp. Also, it is particularly applicable in our current economic climate. I had to post it:

“If God had perceived that our greatest need was economic, he would have sent an economist. If he had perceived that our greatest need was entertainment, he would have sent us a comedian or an artist. If God had perceived that our greatest need was political stability, he would have sent us a politician. If he had perceived that our greatest need was health, he would have sent us a doctor. But he perceived that our greatest need involved our sin, our alienation from him, our profound rebellion, our death; and he sent us a Savior.”

By the way, I do enjoy posting phrases such as "economic climate."
