One of the threads of Truth that runs through Torah portions #vayera and #chayeisarah concerns the limits of the power of righteous people to change the world.

Abraham was God's friend, but he couldn't save Sodom. Lot was a righteous man, but he lost his family in trying to save that wicked city.

In order to preserve and cement God's promise, Abraham had to be willing to give it all up. In the end, he had to be content with the sun setting on his and Sarah's time in the world and its rising on Isaac's and Rebekah's.

The greatest men and women of God were also the humblest. They did what they could and they moved on, trusting in YHWH to complete the work he started.

Mockers respond to wisdom with mockery. The wicked respond to righteousness with wickedness. "Garbage in, garbage out" isn't always true. With people, the machinery in the middle is much more significant than what goes into it.

Consider Mark 15:11. Whatever you might accidentally ingest by eating with unwashed hands won't harm you spiritually, but no matter what goes into you, no matter how good or bad, if your heart is defiled, it will only produce more defilement.
#proverbs 9:7

What was the purpose of the crucifixion and resurrection? Did it make the world a better place?
