Well, yes, but first things first. He came to be the Saviour of His people and there is no way we can follow His example unless we have asked Him to forgive our sins. Once we have done that all things become possible. It is utterly futile to try to follow the example of Jesus unless you have the power of His Spirit and the Spirit comes when we confess our sins and ask for God's forgiveness which is possible because of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.Who are His people? All those who come to Him for forgiveness. Jesus said, "Whoever comes to me I will not cast out."
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
