My high school history students are
discovering the atrocities of the 1900s, including the deaths at the hand of
the ruthless Russian dictator Joseph Stain. The loss of life under his
tyrannical rule is recorded as totaling between 3-60 million individual human lives. Those who
opposed him were eradicated … eliminated … exterminated.
This socialist world leader who
decided the fates of millions did NOT believe that all humans are “fearfully
and wonderfully made.” In Stalin’s quest to industrialize the Soviet Union at
all costs, he disregarded the value of his fellow man. His plans omitted the
timeless truth that we are all “fearfully and wonderfully made” in the image of
the Creator of the universe who sent His only Son to die on the cross for our
sins.
What would our churches,
communities, nation, and world look like today if we would all embrace this
basic truth? Do not forget the Truth:
I
will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
Psalm 139:14
