America's Only Hope

I have often meditated upon why God
chose the time and place He did for
his Son to be born into the world in
the long preparation for the coming
of Christ, the world had seen the
tremendous achievements of many
civilizations.

But neither the intellectual brilliance
of the Greeks; or the sober morals of
the ancient Romans, nor the tech-
nological and organizational genius
of the later Romans, were enough to
still the discontent of human
hearts.

God chose an obscure outpost of a
decadent empire as the birthplace
of His Son, and upon all the debris
of human pride and presumption
there came forth the anointed
Saviour. From that day to this,
there has been only one Light of
the World, one Hope of Mankind.
