"If
God had perceived that our greatest need was economic, He would have
sent an economist. If He had perceived that our greatest need was
entertainment, He would have sent us a comedian or an artist. If God had
perceived that our greatest need was political stability, He would have
sent us a politician. If He had perceived that our greatest need was
health, He would have sent us a doctor. But He perceived that our
greatest need involved our sin, our alienation from him, our profound
rebellion, our death; and He sent us a saviour on Christmas."
