Welcome to Gospel in Life. You don't have to look far to see that something's deeply wrong with our world and with us.

But is there an answer that gets to the root of why? In today's message, Tim Keller explores the human condition through stories in the Bible, uncovering what Scripture says about sin

and why it's the only explanation deep enough to face the truth about ourselves.

I'm going to read you from Isaiah chapter 49. I'm going to read verses 8 down to 16.

It's in your bulletin. I'm only going to read to verse 16.

This is what the Lord says. In the time of my favor, I will answer you. and in the day of salvation, I will help you.

I will keep you and I will make you to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land and to reassign its desolate inheritance,

to say to the captives, come out, and to those in darkness, be free.

They will feed beside the roads and find pasture

on every barren hill. They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun

beat upon them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water.

I will turn all my mountains into roads,

and my highways will be raised up.

See, they will come from afar, some from the north, from this west,

some from the region of Aswan.

Shout for joy, O heavens.

Rejoice, O earth.

Burst into song, O mountains.

For the Lord comforts his people people and will have compassion on his

afflicted ones.

But Zion said, The Lord has forsaken me.

The Lord has forgotten me.
