[Songs in the Night - May 3]
My teaching is not Mine, but His that sent Me. John 7:16
THE teachings of all the Lord's representatives
should be along this same line—not human speculations
and philosophies, but the Word of God—"He that
hath a dream let him tell a dream, but he that hath my
Word, let him speak my Word." (Jeremiah 23:28)
"To
the Law and to the testimony: if they speak not according
to this Word it is because they have no light
in them." (Isaiah 8:20)
"Preach the Word, be instant
in season," and even when inconvenient to yourself.
(II Timothy 4:2)
"The Word of God is powerful and
sharper than a twoedged sword." (Hebrews 4:12)
"Sanctify
them through thy truth: thy Word is truth."
(John 17:17)
"They took knowledge of them that they
had been with Jesus" and learned of him. (Acts 5:13)
Thus it is that those who are faithful and loyal to the
Lord and the Word of his testimony speak not vaguely
and indefinitely to the world, but declare the message
of God, the "good tidings of great joy which shall be
unto all people," "in due time." Z'06-57 R3726:6 (Hymn 22)
