Things get so rough when people are
faced with the truth, rough as not in rugby but rough as they tend to resist
what is bound to set them free, rough as it seems harmful to accept every iota
of it, what a life of irony for the king of freedom who finds it impossible to
emancipate his people from slavery in his own kingdom, I wonder when the truth
suddenly became a bone of contention unpalatable for loyal dogs to love. Truth
hardly have friends despite the fact that it abides day and night through thick
and thin in the hearts of men, we daily sleep and wake with it but boldly fear
what is meant to strengthen our nurture. It is here on earth that a man was
openly killed for the sake of speaking the truth and what baffles me most is
that, even his slaughter ground has become a monument for Christian pilgrims
all over the world to pay homage to whenever they visit Jerusalem till date even
though crucifying Jesus was thousands of years back. Truth can never die no
matter how brutally it was killed, even when he got buried in the tomb, he rose
again. It is really not about what you think is right or not because thousands
of years back people thought it was right to crucify Jesus the Messiah, the
standard for truth does not waver for whatever situation that may pose itself
for truth only says one thing and does not change its words because it has no
other thing to say but truth itself.
Truth is loyal, truth is honest,
truth is love, truth is the beat in your heart that drums out conscience, truth
is the mandate that fulfills promises to those who believe in you, on what
other grounds can integrity build its foundation except for truth?, truth is
the air that makes us breathe, truth is the sun that never denies its shine
despite rainy days, truth is also the moon that glows through the night despite
its darkness. It has to dawn on men that the need for truth is not dependent on
the fact that after it has been said, it will be pleasing for all to admit, I
suppose that is the reason it has a way of being hidden or rather does not
receive a warm reception. It’s also true that having all the riches to buy the
most expensive things in life is not what immortalizes a man neither can all the
money in the world buy life, but owning to oneself virtues rich in truth is
what forever blesses a man and his generation with a good name. There is a
strong correlation between truth and goodness or perhaps a truthful man is
obsessed with goodness, there is no wonder Jesus was known to be doing good
everywhere he went because how will a man openly declare that people should
love their enemies, bless those who curse them, do good to those who hate them
and pray for those who spitefully use them and persecute them, this man must
have been truthful to the point that he knows people are offended by the truth
and it brews hatred in their hearts leading to not being loved by everyone and
the worst that can be done to defend oneself is to be extremely good to them no
matter the pain we are subjected to.
Believe no man that
says you need not to know the truth because I can confidently tell you that
what you don’t know will surely not save you, so you need to know, you need to
know the truth, you need to know the story of truth while he was physically
here on earth, you need to know how he willingly gave his life that you may
never die, you need to know he will give you a lifestyle assured of life after
death, you need to know the good news of Christ, you need to know that JESUS is
the one and only gospel of truth. I have lost so many opportunities in life
never to be regained and you will agree with me that you might have lost such
as well, it is not a good feeling when I also think of all the mistakes I have
done that has cost me a wasted period of time and how the shame is
irreversible, but it all changed the moment I met JESUS the TRUTH, his words
brought comfort to my soul, made me know that I am a new creature and all
regrets, mistakes and shame were meant to lead me to the right path of life, He
said I went through them to realize that there is no life outside him and now
that I am in him, all that I have been battling has shaped me to become a
battle axe that wins all life battles. This same reason has brought me before
you to let the world know that this goodness Jesus has extended to me is not
limited, you have the right to partake in it as well and all you have to do is
accept JESUS the truth as your personal Lord and Saviour, confess your sins and
never return to them for there was no iota of lie in his words when he said ‘I
am the way and the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except by
Me’, the host of heaven is rejoicing over your decision in knowing to accept
the truth because only the truth can set you free.
