People today are aware that our world is heading toward a crisis. Some desperately look for a way to prevent it. But all our technological advances, economic theories, and international organizations are still overwhelmed by global problems. Voices of reason and goodwill are drowned by the fierce shouts of ethnic factions and sectarian zealots. Above all this clamor, however, Jesus calmly and boldly declares, “I am the way!” (John 14:6), and He promises, “I will come back!” (verse 3).

Christ is the last, best hope for our world because only He can deal with the very thing that is destroying it—sin. Jesus died on Calvary to make possible the defeat of evil and deliverance for all who respond to His offer of salvation.

“He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.”
—1 John 3:8.

Our Saviour created a way out of our crumbling world by sacrificing His own flesh and blood. And the same Jesus, who will someday cure all the world’s ills by destroying sin, offers right now to erase the guilt of sin from your own life. You don’t have to wait for the Second Coming to find release from guilt, and from anxiety and destructive behavior. Jesus is quite willing to give you His kind of peace this very moment.

While a young woman named Jean was attending a religious meeting, she felt strangely moved by the gospel presentation. As she heard the story of a soon-coming Saviour unfold, all the pieces began to fit into place. This made sense. Jean decided that she’d been looking for love, happiness, and peace in all the wrong places. Jesus had to be the answer.
