Meditations for Ministers...... We are now living in the last days, when the truth must be spoken: when in reproof and warning it must be given to the world, IRRESPECTIVE OF CONSEQUENCES. If there are some who will become offended and turn from the truth, WE MUST BEAR IN MIND that there were those who did the SAME IN CHRIST’S DAY. When the greatest Teacher the world has ever known spoke the truth, MANY OF HIS DISCIPLES BECAME OFFENDED AND walked no more with him. But truth will bear away victory. Those who will maintain the truth, IRRESPECTIVE OF CONSEQUENCES, will offend some WHOSE HEARTS ARE NOT IN HARMONY with the truth as it is in Jesus. These persons CHERISH THEORIES OF THEIR OWN, which are not the truth. The truth does not harmonize with their sentiments; and rather than give up their OWN IDEAS, they walk away from those who obey the truth. But there are men who will receive the truth, and THESE WILL TAKE THE PLACE MADE VACANT BY THOSE WHO BECOME OFFENDED AND LEAVE THE TRUTH. Christ declared, “They went out from us, but they were not of us.” MEN OF TRUE CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES WILL TAKE THEIR PLACES, AND WILL BECOME FAITHFUL, TRUSTWORTHY HOUSEHOLDERS, TO ADVOCATE THE WORD OF GOD IN ITS TRUE BEARINGS, AND IN ITS SIMPLICITY. The Lord will work so that THE DISAFFECTED ONES WILL BE SEPARATED FROM THE TRUE AND LOYAL ONES. Those who, like Cornelius, will fear God and glorify him, will take their places. THE RANKS WILL NOT BE DIMINISHED. Those who are firm and true will CLOSE UP THE VACANCIES THAT ARE MADE BY THOSE WHO BECOME OFFENDED AND APOSTATIZE. SpM 207
