The Pride of Man

  So many of today's establishments are based on the pride of man in what man can do and achieve in his own strength.  Our universities are full of this pride , especially our scientists who never stop to think how often, after some wonderful revelation of theirs they have to admit they got it wrong five years down the line. In Britain we were once told that eggs were bad for us because of the cholesterol in them.  Sometime later we were told eggs had good cholesterol and we could eat as many as we liked. There is no trusting these self glorifying people.  I have noticed that such people are lacking in common sense.  They fill their heads with equations but hardly know how to look after themselves on a practical level.  They say "Pride comes before a fall." Although this is a misquote, it is true.  When man thinks so much of himself he is in for a rude awakening.  If his life consists of his cleverness he will one day come down to earth with a bump.  When he finally meets with His Maker all his academic prowess will count for nothing.  The big question will be, "What have you done with Jesus?"
