And I tell you, man doesn’t like that! He will go to any lengths to resist that! It was John Lennon who wrote:

Imagine there's no Heaven

It's easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people

Living for today

Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one

In 2006, Lennon’s widow, Yoko Ono, placed a full-page ad in the New York Times calling for December 8—the anniversary of John Lennon’s death—to be made a global day of healing. In that ad she said, and I quote: “One day we will be able to say that we healed ourselves, and by healing ourselves, we healed the world.”

O No, Yoko! O no we won’t. We will never be able to say we healed ourselves! If the cross of Christ says anything, it shouts to the world, you cannot save yourself. And man vainly covers his ears and sets himself against that message for He refuses to be shamed. He refuses to admit his sin.
