DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.W. Tozer emphasizes the hopelessness of humanity without God,
comparing sin to cancer that devastates human nature. He argues that
while the world may present fleeting moments of goodness, true goodness
can only be found in Jesus Christ. Tozer reflects on a summer conference
where the focus was on entertainment, contrasting it with the profound
truth that without Christ, everything is ultimately wrong and transient.
He reminds us that the Holy Spirit continually points us to Jesus, who
embodies eternity and offers salvation. The message is a call to
recognize our need for Christ to make everything right.

Men and women without God are helpless and hopeless human beings. We do
well to remember that sin is to the human nature what cancer is to the
human body! Who can argue with the fact that sin has ruined us? Our
feverish activity is only one sign of what is wrong with us - sin has
plunged us into the depths and so marked us with mortality that we have
become brother to the clay-but God never meant it to be so. I recall
being invited to speak at a summer conference where much of the emphasis
is upon fun and amusement and jokes, something like Hollywood, I
suppose. After my sessions there, the pastor-director told me frankly of
his wife's reaction: "Honey, after listening to Dr.

Tozer, can it be true that there isn't anything good in this world?"
Well, I know she had a Bible in her house and I consider her query one
of the foolish questions of our times. Of course the world makes its own
argument that there are things that can be considered good on the human
level-but they belong to us only for a brief day. Nothing is divinely
good until it bears the imprint of our Lord Jesus Christ! Men and women
may argue and make excuses, but it does not change the fact that in our
human society we are completely surrounded by three marks of the ancient
curse: everything is recent, temporal and transient!

That is why the Holy Spirit whispers faithfully, reminding us of the
Christ of God, eternity walking in flesh, God Almighty come to live
among us and to save-actually to give us eternity!
