When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. … He will bring me glory by telling you whatever he receives from me. John 16: 13-14
The world is really loud and full of distractions. Look around at any public gathering and see all the folks noses buried in their phones. We have television, radio, and smart phones all shouting at us 24/7. The voice inside sounds like a myth.
Truly blessed are the ears that listen— not to the sounds surrounding them— but to the voice of Truth inside.
Watkins, James (2016-01-12). The Imitation of Christ: Classic Devotions in Today’s Language (Kindle Locations 570-571). Worthy Publishing. Kindle Edition.
The sad truth is that all the noise contains very little truth. The Resurrection we celebrate today made possible the installation of a voice of TRUTH inside, to guide, direct and encourage us. It’s not so loud and demanding as to rob us of free will. We have to decide to listen and decide to follow. But if we do take that path less travelled we will be led into truth, peace and joy.
On this Resurrection Sunday let’s remember and celebrate the defeat of sin and death and the fulfilment of the great promises of God. Let us also, however, celebrate and listen to the great gift of the voice inside that the sacrifice and conquering of death makes possible. It heralds an end to noisy lies and the beginning of quiet blessed truth.
