The Truth Remains 

   “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”  (Matt 28: 19 – 20). 

   With these words Jesus commissioned His apostles.  He had taught them the truths and entrusted to them the teaching of those truths throughout the world.  He promised that He would be with them always, until the end of the age. 

   There are those who would question and try to redefine the teachings of Jesus.  Those who want to change the truth to meet their own desires and those of society.  They are not the first to question truth, it began almost immediately after Christ’s death and resurrection.  Heresy after heresy arose trying to redefine the teachings of Christ.  Each was rebuked and put down by those entrusted with Christ’s truth.  The heresies continue to this day and, I suspect, will continue until Jesus comes again.  They will continue, but they will never change the truth.

   Society seeks its’ own will, its’ own definition of truth.  But as Christians we are not to be concerned with not what society wishes the truth to be.  Rather, we are to be concerned with the truth as defined by God.  We live in this world, but we are not to be part of it.  “For you are a people holy to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.” (Deuteronomy 7: 6).

   Truth is truth and will be truth forever.  We can deny it or accept it, but the truth remains. 

People question the truth.

They want to redefine Your word.

Society may reject You.

But the truth remains. 

Amen
