A while ago, I found this note hanging on a tree along the bike trail in Conshohocken. It was handwritten and photocopied. As I was reading and walking, I looked up and there was another note. Anyway, I liked what it said and wanted to keep them but also wasn’t sure if it was meant for someone else (I thought it was from God… maybe it was for me, who knows?). So I went and made some more copies and later hung them back up nearby.
Violence?
Jesus said “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit” Matthew 7-V18. “A good man out the good treasures of the heart bringeth forth good things and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things” Matthew 12-V35. The problem with man today is the heart, no man can solve the problem of violence, drugs, etc. etc. It must start with a change of heart. Only Jesus Christ can change a man’s heart, man cannot do it, the mayor cannot do it, your honey cannot do it, and religion won’t do it, only Jesus. Jesus is as alive today as He was yesterday, only through His shed blood and His rising from the dead can a man get free from guilt of sin, I don’t care where you have been or what you have done. There is no other permanent cure for man, only temporary fixes or political ideas. We need to stop being fools and start trusting God, not man. As you can see, man doesn’t have the power.
