We Don't Need an Economist

I quoted this from Don Carson in my sermon on Sunday:

If God had perceived that our greatest need was economic, he would have sent an economist. If he had perceived that our greatest need was entertainment, he would have sent us a comedian or an artist. If God had perceived that our greatest need was political stability, he would have sent us a politician. If he had perceived that our greatest need was health, he would have sent us a doctor. But (God) perceived that our greatest need involved our sin, our alienation from him, our profound rebellion, our death; and he sent us a Savior.
