The missing link

The evolutionist is still looking for “the missing link”, the evolutionary “ancestor” of both human beings and modern apes. One would think they stand a better chance of finding a one-ended stick. Now granted, the evolutionist is not wrong in the search for “the missing link”, simply misguided. Instead of combing the earth for fossils, they should look to Jesus Christ. He is the missing link, the one through whom God reconciled the world to himself. As the apostle Paul put it, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ…” (2 Cor. 5:17-18).

Jesus Christ is the “missing link” and once man links us with him, then the “next stage of evolution” can begin. Only then can man begin the long, arduous process of becoming what he was always intended to be – a new creature in Christ Jesus. Who ever said evolution and Christianity were incompatible?
