“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9)
A seven year old child is raped and murdered. An infant is raped and killed by her father. A man is shot multiple times while he is begging for his life. Someone comes between a man and his wife, ultimately ending in divorce leaving three small children to become wards of the state. Someone steals a vehicle while it was parked in the owner’s driveway. Men get in a fight resulting from “road rage,” and one of them is shot and killed by the other. Nations rise against nation. Terrorists cause peace to be gone, replaced by fear.
Why do bad things happen? Why is there so much hatred in the world? There will be no peace until the Prince of Peace comes to rule in the hearts of men, because men’s hearts are desperately wicked. Only Jesus, the Son of God can change a sinful heart.
