Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Man is such an egocentric creature.
Only with great difficulty does he comprehend that he is not the center of the universe. Reluctantly did he give up his notion that all planets and suns revolved around the earth. Only painfully does he admit men of other races and colors as brothers of a common father. This is perhaps one of the hardest lessons for a scientific age to learn. We have cut our intellectual teeth on the basic assumption of the inevitability of progress.
