The World's Only Hope

Martyn Lloyd-Jones from Courageous Christianity: Studies in the book of Acts; volume II.
The times in which you and I are living are too desperate for any of us to indulge in some historical or antiquarian interest. We are looking at [Acts 4:1-10] because unfortunately the attitude we see here is still true of so many men and women today As I am trying to show, this attitude is the supreme tragedy of the world. Our world is a world in trouble, a world in confusion, a world toying with forces and powers that could put an end to civilization as we know it. But to such a world there still comes the message of the Christian Gospel. It is the only hope for that world, and yet the world is rejecting it.

These sermons were originally preached in London, England in 1965. The world has waxed worse and worse but the answer remains the same. The only hope for the world is Jesus Christ.
