This is the Way
The Working Energy of Faith

by Robin Webber

Just over 60 years ago in wartime Holland, closeted away in a secret room, a young Jewish girl penned into her diary a startling entry of her present reality and future predictions of what it would take to create a better world.

On May 3, 1944, Anne Frank shared her frustrations and expectations by writing, "As you can easily imagine we often ask ourselves here despairingly, 'What, oh what is the use of this war? Why can't people live peaceably together? Why all this destruction?' The question is very understandable, but no one has found a satisfactory answer to it so far."

She goes on to lament, "Oh, why are people so crazy? I don't believe the big men, the politicians, the capitalists, alone are guilty of war. Oh no, the little man is just as keen; otherwise the people of the world would have risen in revolt long ago! There is an urge and a rage in people to destroy, to kill and to murder and until all mankind without exception undergoes a great change, wars will be waged, everything that has been built, cultivated and grown will be destroyed and disfigured, after which mankind will have to start all over again."

The young lady with the big questions and even bigger conclusions died in the Holocaust.

But her solutions live in Scripture. Did you realize that the Holy Bible lays out the future hope when "all mankind without exception undergoes a great change" and "will start all over again"? Isaiah 40:1-5 outlines a coming time of great comfort. Isaiah writes: "'Comfort, yes, comfort My people!' says your God. 'Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her, that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned; for she has received from the LORD's hand double for all her sins.'"
