There are countless cults promising personality enhancement by meditation, mind-power, capturing the cosmic force, or tuning in to the infinite. The truth is they promise nothing at all except temporary relief or tranquility of spirit if you keep it up like Yoga. They are not a cure for the cancer – sin, the root of our inner tensions. Like the aspirin adverts say, “they relieve the headache but do not affect the heart”. A psychiatrist assured me that all people needed were to be calmed down. I looked at him and said, “Mister, a man on a sinking ship needs more than a tranquilizer. He needs rescue. He doesn’t want to be calmed down when he is already going down!” Jesus stretches out His nail-pierced hand to those on the world’s sinking vessel, grips them, lifts them, and says, “Because I live ye shall live also”. The Great Physician bears the name Jesus, which means SAVIOR. Saving is His special task, and His only. He came into the world “to destroy the works of the devil and to set the captives free”. He did not offer mere sedatives, or morpheme. Making people forget, or not care, or laugh, is no cure. “Jesus Christ went about healing all who were oppressed of the devil” (Acts 10,38). He is the Resurrection and the Life. We fully trust Him. God bless you.
