Jesus, the solution to the human dilemma

Introduction - I want to share with you a picture of the human dilemma, and then I want to show you the solution that comes in Jesus Christ.

• The world lacks two things that everything has to have, honesty and integrity.
  • John 10:10, 5:40, 1:11ܝܘܚܢܢ ܝ:10، ܗ:40، ܐ:11 

I’d like to take a good look at a world without Christ to see what is really there.

• Informationܝܲܕܥܵܢܘܼܬܵܐ ܘܝܘܼܠܦܵܢܵܐ
  • Daniel 12:4ܕܢܝܐܝܠ ܝܒ:4 
• Science and technology ܝܘܼܠܦܵܢܵܐ ܕܐܘܼܡܵܢܘܼܬܵܐ
  • Luke 12:15ܠܘܩܐ ܝܒ:15 
• Education and trainingܡܲܩܪܲܝܬܵܐ ܘܡܵܠܲܦܬܵܐ
• Rationalism, the human mindܚܲܝܠܵܐ ܕܗܵܘܢܵܐ ܕܐ݉ܢܵܫܵܐ
• Religion (Religion is man inventing God. That is backwards!) ܡܲܙܗܲܒ

Human Dilemma – Why?ܬܸܫܘܸܫܬܵܐ ܕܒܲܪܢܵܫܘܼܬܵܐ – ܩܵܡܘܼ؛

1) Sin and guiltܓܘܼܢܵܗܟܵܪܘܼܬܵܐ ܘܚܛܝܼܬܵܐ  

• Man lives with a sense of sinfulness and the guilt that comes behind that sin.
  • Romans 3:10-19ܖ̈ܗܘܡܝܐ ܓ:10 – 19 
• Conscience and soul will respond to sin with impulses of guilt, and people run like mad to cover that up.
• The latest scheme to deal with guilt is to justify it.

2) Lust and desireܫܲܗ݉ܘܲܬܬܵܐ ܘܒܵܥܘܼܬܵܐ  

• If ever there was a lusting society it is 20th Century America.
  • Ephesians 2:1-3ܐܦܣܝ̈ܐ ܒ:1 – 3 
• Everybody left home and they've traded lust for love.And so the family dies.
• When the family dies, everything is gone. There’s no warmth. There’s no acceptance. And there’s no fulfillment

3) Purposelessness and meaninglessnessܠܵܐ ܟ̰ܘܼ ܢܝܼܫܵܐ ܘܡܵܢܵܝܵܐ  

• It seems that the worst of all is not to have any reason to be.
  • Psalm 1:4ܡܙܡܘܖ̈ܐ ܐ:4  
• And what God is saying about man – that man is useless apart from him.
  • John 15:8, 16ܝܘܚܢܢ ܝܗ:8، 16
