It infects society, this depraved sense of good and evil humanity possesses. We excuse all or we excuse nothing. We offer no hope for the other side because in ourselves we cannot find it. We know there is goodness because of the sunrise, because of the light that burns in our hearts. And we know there is evil be the bitter night and the inky black that spills from the depths of our soul.
And yet, in ourselves, there is nothing. We learn, as we grow, to excuse evil and condemn good. Apart from God's law we have no wisdom. Apart from the gospel we have no hope.
It is the gospel that brings sense to life, that turns humanity's tradition on its head, that blows our misconceptions of good and evil our of the water. Apart from the wisdom of God there is no true knowledge to be had. No fence to show us liberty. No ground on which to stand.
