Sugar Coated Death Sentence

Words from the King Himself:

"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. " (John 14:6)

Thinking about truth. Not the wishy washy truth of the world but hard truth. Truth that can't be ignored no matter how hard you try. There are a million variations of worldly truth out there. One minute the media touts one "truth" and then it changes it completely into a new "truth."

I have lived a life being tossed on the sea of the world. I've changed my stance on issues as quickly as the news changed. I know that worldly truth is false.

There is only one truth that ever changes: Jesus Christ is the Messiah. He is the King. He is the only way that we will escape hell. He is the Truth of Life.

If we, as Christians, insist on sugar coating truth to the lost we are merely serving them barbed wire coated in chocolate and merely smiling as they choke it down. Too graphic? To bleak? To dark?

Not graphic enough! Not bleak enough! Not dark enough! The truth of this world and the one who rules it is so much darker than people understand.

We are handing out sugar coated death sentences when we fail to tell the lost the entire truth about our Lord!

He is loving, merciful, graceful, caring and forgiving to us.

He is also the Judge, the Truth, The Holy One, The Almighty.

We do Him a disservice when we only tell people about one side of the coin.

Let's stop dealing in the sweet, sticky things of our enemy. Let's deal in the glorious burning TRUTH OF CHRIST to the darkness around us.
