If our greatest need had been information,

God would have sent an educator.

If our greatest need had been money,

God would have sent an economist.

If our greatest need had been technology,

God would have sent us a scientist.


If our greatest need had been pleasure,

God would have sent us an entertainer.

But our greatest need was forgiveness,

so God sent us a Saviour.

“For God so loved the world,

that He gave His one and only

Son, that whoever believes in

Him shall not die but have

eternal life” John 3 v 16
