Jesus didn't come for the strong in body or the powerful in commerce. He came for the sick and the sad and the sorrowing. Those who know they are hopeless. He came for the lost sheep who will hear His voice and follow Him. For those who have come to the end of their strength and turn to find their strength in Him. For those who have loved and lost and find in Him the one who fulfills all their dreams, in a way no other one can do. The One who will never fail them or let them down. Jesus who is the way the truth and the life. Sad, sad world stop looking for answers in this broken world full of broken people and look to Jesus who says, "Come unto me and I will give you rest."
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...
