It has been said no man believes until he has felt the hand and his fingers have touched the wound, the first of these men to be Thomas, hence the ‘doubting Thomas’ label. Is it so difficult to believe without feeling, seeing; do men need convincing of the truth or is their will to believe so weakened they must feel the hand?
There are many truths to behold, the most important truth is that which saves us. The word is written, the story told, but we must remember above all things we have the will, the free will to allow our creators principles to guide us. Is our desire to be oppressed, without access to the joys of our creator? Is it his word that tells us to live in oppression, to give up our worldly pleasures for the good of the people, the good of the world or are the words by a man seeking to be God, declaring himself to be supreme with no principles but those created by himself? Are these things he creates sustainable or shall they crash down upon him and all those he controls where good prevails and rises up around the destruction? Is the latter that through the centuries and millenniums dictate to be fact, the rising and falling of empires, trying to be god, but failing as good rises up to destroy that which is evil.
I say, behold the truth, if you do not see it, look for it. You say to me, if the truth be so easy to find, why must you seek so hard to find it; but you must seek it where you least expect it, for there hidden the truth lies. The truth does not hide from you, but you have hidden yourself from it. You chose to either to open your eyes or slumber.
