Oh the Humanity

Fellow Labourers-

Oh the humanity! beckons to all of us. Remember the Apostle Paul when he cried "O wretched man that I am?" This was a cry of his humanity. A cry which echoes throughout all ages. Why? We are dust and are prone to the vicissitudes of life, hence we suffer and we groan because of our mortality. Having knowledge of our humanity should humble us enough to seek to find our real purpose in the earth.

We are reminded by the words of a song that "Known only to him are the deep hidden secret." Armed with this knowledge we should so live that each day of our lives count for something good. It was the Psalmist who asked "What is man that thou art mindful of him?" The God who made us knows our mortality but he has made a way for us to gain immortality. Jesus looked in the cup and what he saw caused him to ask if and why. How is your cup today? Question if you must, but be assured that if like Jesus you are willing to make the sacrifice, then be assured that this humanity too shall pass.

Pax Vobiscum

Robert A. Stewart
