The Lord sees with compassion our condition, our original innocence and our present confusion. We find in the scriptures: But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. (Matthew 9:36) So we were innocent before, but now it is time to grow up. The days of knowledge have come. We do have a choice. Now it is time to identify our real issues.
