Paul said, So be careful how you live. Don't live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days, Ephesians 5:15-16.
The foolishness of the religious leaders; The foolishness of the political rulers; The foolishness of the crowd.
In the middle of this foolishness stands the Wisdom of God in human form, John 1:10-12, 14; 1 Corinthians 1:18, 22-25; Isaiah 53:3-7.
Jesus provides us with the two key components for survival in these evil days... Peace in our present; Hope for our future.
