The cure

If this ad were to be used today, what an uproar would occur!!!  Everyone knows of the deleterious effects of alcohol, but back in the day, nobody would even bother to think about it.  If you watch health shows on TV, you will see someone promoting a different treatment or vitamin daily.  But ask your doctor and chances are he will put it down.  From personal experience, I can tell you that some vitiamins work better than pharmacy prescriptions, but hey, that's just me!!!  People do what seems best to them as they see fit.  But what do they know???


1 Corinthians 1:20-24 (WEB)


20) Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the lawyer of this world? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

21) For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.

22) For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,

23) but we preach Christ crucified; a stumbling block to Jews, and foolishness to Greeks,

24) but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

People have all kinds of ideas as to what is best for them and when it comes to religion, solutions abound.  One thing is certain, Jesus is the only person to have been resurrected from death; documented beyond any doubt.  Since all of us will someday die, why not listen to someone who has been there and came BACK FROM THE DEAD!!!  Jesus is the answer to the really big problem... death.  And, oh yes, the solution never changes!!!
