I can see them in my mind’s eye. They came so close to the truth but were sidetracked by something or someone. Hardness set in and now they are completely callused to the truth.
Winston Churchill said it like this, “Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing has happened.”
Paul in writing to the Galatians put it as follows:
Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?
You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?
Jesus made the statement that He was the way, the truth and the life and no man could come to the Father except by Him.
Give it some thought.
