Little Lamb! Little Lamb! Who hath made thee?

“Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person.

 Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden in the east, and there he placed the man he had made…The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it.” Ge. 2:7,8,15

“The Lord is like a father to his children,
    tender and compassionate to those who fear him.

 For he knows how weak we are;
    he remembers we are only dust.” Psalm 103:13,14

“For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.

 We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.” 2 Cor. 4:6,7

For all the posturing we have heard in the world about the greatness of the human race and the glorious future of mankind, the truths of Scripture listed above are echoed again and again throughout our history.

 Shakespeare said:

“We all are men, in our own natures frail, and capable of our flesh; few are angels.”
― William Shakespeare, Henry VIII

And Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe said

Some of our weakness is born in us, some of it comes through education; it is a big question as to which gives us the most trouble.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

The point is that the weakness of man is simply a truth. The sinfulness of man is simply a truth. Our culture may deny it and tell us we are good people who only sometimes do evil. Our culture may tell us that mankind is getting better and better under its own power but that is a lie the truth is spelled out by Paul quoting the prophet Isaiah to the Romans,
