The March 27, 2022 Parade Magazine featured a Losers We Love article: those producers, directors, stars and movies that never won an Oscar. Among the most famous were Alfred Hitchcock, Cary Grant, Singing in the Rain and The Searchers. The battle for Ft. Washington in the American Revolution, and at the village of Lanzerath in the WWII Battle of the Bulge, join the underserved unheralded. WWII History, Feb. 2022, p. 34
The spiritual point. To the shame of every generation, in every nation, in every culture East and West, Jesus Christ has been the Unheralded, Unrewarded God in the flesh. God's judgment rests on Western Culture for dismissing him as Essential to humanity; and on Eastern Culture for never considering him as Essential. Obnoxiously snubbing him in history, governments and individuals insult him by disregarding his impact on history—dismissing his positive contribution as a humanitarian. See the book If Jesus Had Never Been Born for examples. Those who support hospitals, children's homes, colleges and benevolent institutions of all kinds HAVE THEM to support because Jesus came. That is all "small stuff" compared to his MAJOR contribution to humanity: his Once for All perfect sacrifice to forgive, remove and banish sin from human lives and improve the daily effort to live in peace with each other. All of that is the result of Jesus Christ's authority over heaven and earth until he "has put all his enemies under his feet" I Corinthians 15:24-28. Only spiritual depravity explains how such a PERSON can be considered irrelevant by a humanity so glutted with humanism it won't admit it needs help at all! And what shall all those do THEN who NOW consider Jesus unnecessary—when they see him on his Throne as JUDGE pronouncing them unqualified to enter God's Presence?
