The Truth Plainly

By setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. We do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.” (2 Corinthians 4:2-3, 5–6, NIV 1984).

My Musings – “Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain’t goin’ away.” (Elvis Presley). The Gospel of Christ is also like the sun. We can deny its light for a time, but it ain’t passin’ away.” “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” (Matthew 24:34–35< NIV 1984).

My Advice – “If [Jesus] said something wrong…testify as to what is wrong. But if [He] spoke the truth [why shut it out]? For this reason [He] was born, and for this [He] came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to [Him].” (John 18:23, 37, NIV 1984).

His truth “ain’t goin’ away.” And He is comin’ again. At that time, the worst words to hear Him say would be, “I tell you the truth, I don’t know you.” (Matthew 25:12, NIV 1984). Listen to Him now, so you don’t have to hear this later.
