Civilized?

Civilized?

“Not until the creation and maintenance of decent conditions of life for all men are recognized and accepted as a common obligation of all men and all countries—not until then shall we, with a certain degree of justification, be able to speak of mankind as civilized.”
                                                                                                                        Albert Einstein.
Einstein was right. We cannot truly call ourselves civilized while we let one man woman or child struggle to get enough food to eat, good housing, clothing, and medical attention.
We cannot call ourselves civilized when men, women, children are dying violent deaths at the hands of others on our city streets.
We cannot consider ourselves civilized when a person is considered suspicious simply because of the colour of his or her skin.
I know of no philosophy in the world that can truly change it. Jesus however can.
St. Augustine wrote,
“I have read in Plato and Cicero sayings that are very wise and very beautiful; but I never read in either of them:  "Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden."  
                                                                                                            St Augustine.
Jesus can change the world.
If the teachings of Jesus to love God, ones neighbour, and one’s enemy are implemented within our society lives can be changed.
The cry of Jesus to the world today is,
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” 
                                 Matthew 11:28-30.
Jesus can change lives and those lives can change the world.
Would you consider giving your life to Christ today?
Please think about it.
