ON “HUMAN NATURE”

Evelyn Underhill said: “Human nature is like a stable inhabited by the ox of passion and the ass of prejudice; animals which take up a lot of room and which I suppose most of us are feeding on the quiet. And it is there between them, pushing them out, that Christ must be born and in their very manger he must be laid – and they will be the first to fall on their knees before him. Sometimes Christians seem far nearer to those animals than to Christ in his simple poverty, self-abandoned to God.” Yes, that’s the sinful flesh; the nature of sin, the death poison!!! Thank God that He condemned the sinful flesh by sending His own Son to save us from damnation!!! That’s it!!!
