The Church in our time is a shambles, but when has that ever not been true? The incoherence of our time is different perhaps in cause and extent from previous periods of lawlessness in the Church, but the ancient enemy is always among us seeking to lead us away from Christ. When we are scandalized and humiliated by the chaos in the Church and the sins of her pastors, what should we do? Go to him who is:
The Alpha and the Omega. The Beginning and the End. The First and the Last. The Bread of Angels and the Bread of Life. The Bridegroom of the Church and the Consolation of Israel. The Daystar and Desire of the Nations. The Eternal and All Powerful Word of the Father. The Good Shepherd and our Great High Priest. The Holy One of Israel and the Great I AM. The King of kings and Lord of lords. The Lamb of God and the Light of the World. The Man of Sorrows and the Son of Man. The Messiah of Israel and the Son of David. The New Adam and the Savior of the human race. Our Passover and our Peace. The Power of God and the Wisdom of God. The Resurrection and the Life. The Rock of Our Salvation. The Son of Mary and the Son of God. The One Who is, Who was, and Who is to come. The Way, the Truth, and the Life.
The Lord Jesus Christ.
