October 21 What’s Wrong with the World? －1 Timothy 1：12-17

When someone posted the question “What’s Wrong with the World?” There would be myriad kinds of answers.Whether the answer was factual or not, time would verify.

But that is nothing but true, long before that someone asked that question, there was an apostle named Paul. He was far from a lifelong model citizen, Paul confessed his past shortcomings: (1 Tim 1:13) “Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.”

(1 Tim 1:14) The grace of our LORD was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

 After naming who Jesus came to save the sinners, he went on to claim he was the worst. (1 Tim 1:15) “Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners-of whom I am the worst.”

Paul knew exactly what was wrong with the world. And he further knew the only hope of making things right. (1 Tim 1:14) “The grace of our LORD was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.” The lasting truth is to lift our eyes to Jesus’ saving love.
