[Manna - July 21]
To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the Truth. John 18:37
IT was our Lord's faithfulness to the Truth that
brought upon Him the opposition of those who were
blinded by the adversary.
It was His witness to the
Truth that cost Him His life, and it was the giving
of His life in defence of the Truth that constituted the
redemption price.
Similarly all of the Lord's followers
are to bear witness to the Truth—the truth in
respect to God's character and plan....
It is such witness
to the Truth that is to cost all the true followers
of Jesus their lives in presenting themselves living
sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God through Christ
Jesus.
Let each one who hopes to be a joint-heir
with the Prince of Life in the Kingdom witness to the
Truth—a good confession respecting the Kingdom,
its foundation and ultimate superstructure in glory. Z.'99-123 R2471:6
