The Answer to the Middle East Problem

The Middle East has erupted in some of the worst violence in decades. Much blood has been spilt and hundreds have tragically lost their lives.

There seems to be no end in sight. The hatred threatens to spill over and become a region-wide—or even worldwide—conflict.

Worst of all, no one seems to know what to do. World leaders try valiantly to make peace, but it eludes them.

Can anything be done?

It can . . . and must be done.

Peace starts with agreeing with what is right. And, until people acknowledge that the problem is in their own hearts, until they confess that they are sinners, there will be no real peace . . . external or internal.

It’s important to understand that people do evil things because their hearts are evil.

Jesus said, "From within, out of men’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly" (Mark 7:21).

People in the Middle East—and nominal Christians in the West, for that matter—desperately need to experience change that starts on the inside and dramatically affects the way they live and treat other people. They need to have their evil hearts changed.

The good news is that Jesus Christ specializes in changing the hearts of even the most wicked. Scripture says in II Corinthians 5:17, "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come."

Yes, Christ can change some of the hardest, most evil people in the world.

And it is happening in the Middle East today!

One person at a time. People are experiencing spiritual regeneration and are becoming "new creations" through the crucified and risen Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is the only answer. And that’s why people in the Middle East—including Iranians, Afghans and Tajiks—need to hear His words of peace. And that’s why Radio Voice of Christ is so committed to explaining the Gospel of Christ to them.
