Acts 4:12
Salvation is Found in No One Except Jesus
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.
1 John 2:15
Do Not Love This World
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.
God does things in a different Way...God at anytime could have intervened in the trial and crucifixion of Jesus, but He chose not to...A Father could have saved His Son from the cross...Just like God could at anytime stop all evil, sin, and troubles in this world...God chooses to allow evil to happen...But when we look back to Jesus’ trial and crucifixion, we see that God did change the way we look at sin and evil and troubles...He chose to raise Jesus from the dead, and that fact alone changes all of history...The fact of the resurrection gives one hope in eternal life...And now we look at suffering differently, because of the cross and God and Jesus...
When we think about our world and St. John writing about not loving the world nor the things in this world, we must believe God and His Son have a different Way, a Better Way...God did not save His Son from the cross, but He gives us His Son to save us...
