Is ft not true that sometimes wis4> men are confounded by the foolish things of this world? Do not men sometimes do foolish things in their efforts to achieve glory, fame or riches? Whatever recognition may come to any mortal must still hr insignificant when compared to the glory of the life of Christ upon earth. Christ came to do the choeen will of God upon earth. He suffered pain, humiliation—and death because it was God’s wish that mankind be shown the road to eternal salvation. The glory of earthly achievements is short-lived; the glory of God is eternal.
