Today’s Thought “Are You Sure You Want to Know?” G. Ward

“My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.” 1 John 2:1-2

There’s unfortunate expectancy from the predominance in society regarding answers of eternal proportion rarely given by those esteemed by man. Moreover and sadly, even those walking in prudence seemingly stumble, not willing to share absolutes (i.e. right vs. wrong) because it may offend and is divisive (*cf. Matt.10:34-39).

I owe it to the whole in every generation currently to make myself available to the kind of questioning needing answers from an authoritative source and the regard shared must expeditiously and unwaveringly be willing to stand in Truth with mercy. The Apostle John writes to the church as an old man with horrid beginnings as a young man. His introspection looks to those younger (chronological and faith’s regard) as “little children” because he understood Holy God’s view of the entirety of mankind needing admonition, along with nurturing to the end.
