She came from a poor family and worked in a call center to help with her college expenses. On December 16th last year she and a friend were brutally attacked on their way home from a movie. She was left naked and bleeding by the side of the road and later succumbed to her injuries. Her murder at 23 in Delhi India has rocked the world. What a somber testimonial to what has been called “man’s inhumanity to man.” Jesus speaking of mankind once said, “out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnesses and slanders.” While all of us do not do all of these mentioned, we all have the potential, and we all are guilty of wrong-doing. That’s because as much as we try to deny it, all of us are, by nature, prone to wrong -doing, or just sinners by nature and by choice. That’s why Jesus once told Nicodemus, “You must be born again.” Every human being ever born needs a spiritual re-birth. Without it there is no hope of heaven.
