Psychologists talk about people having a guilt complex and
do everything to get rid of this for their patients to make Their lives happier;
but guilt can be your best friend, telling you that you have done wrong and
something needs to be done about it. The
only something that will work is to come in repentance to Jesus for the
forgiveness that only He can give. It is no good to try to turn over a new leaf
or do something good to the person you have wronged. That might be a nice thing to do but it does
not stop the fact that you have done wrong.
Human beings are all in the same boat.
You and I may not be mass murderers but we have broken the most
important commandment, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all heart and
soul and mind.” The best way to honour God is to accept the salvation He offers
in Jesus. Unless we can be totally
perfect always, we have no hope of receiving God’s forgiveness unless we come
to Jesus and trust in Him alone.
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...
