The police
went back to the Chief Priests and
Pharisees who said to them, "Why
have you not brought Him?" The
police replied,
"There has never been anybody
who has spoken like him"
John 7:45-46
To listen to the teaching of the
Son of Man and to try to live in
the light of it is a good beginning
for anyone seeking the word of truth
and life. For the word will become
within his mind and heart a light
to his way and a guide to his path.
And as the word is, so is the nature
and dynamic of the One who speaks
it. So all who are by confronted
with the word are encountered by
the very Lord of Life and Light
and Truth. And as they hear so must
they react, and however they respond
conditions that which they become
and do in all things.
How important, then, for every
child of man to pause and read and
study, consider and put into good
effect those things which are presented
to the mind that speak to him of
goodness, truth and life. Those
who refuse to be confronted by these
things are challenged nonetheless,
and by their negative response fail
to progress or find fulfilment for
their life.
All are confronted by the Word
of truth in ways discernible and
meaningful. So is each child of
man, each beloved of their Heavenly
Father, offered means of following
in the way of life.
