At
first I thought this was just sort of funny, but then I thought: what
if the chickens were actually telling the truth? If that we true,
then what kind of person would “Mozart” be? My answer – A left
wing Democrat!
Sounds
a bit harsh, but think about it; Mueller investigation is over, Trump
is vindicated, but still the Democrats want to impeach him.
The
truth is: If you don’t want to hear the truth, you will NEVER HEAR
THE TRUTH!
The
following is the best example of this concept that I can think of
from the Scriptures…
John
8 ( World English
Bible )
Joh 8:12, Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the
light of the world.* He who follows me will not walk in the darkness,
but will have the light of life.”
Joh 8:13, The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about
yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
Joh 8:14, Jesus answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my
testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am
going; but you don’t know where I came from, or where I am going.
Joh 8:15, You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
Joh 8:16, Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not
alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
Joh 8:17, It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two
people is valid.*
Joh 8:18, I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who
sent me testifies about me.”
Joh 8:19, They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?”
Jesus answered, “You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew
me, you would know my Father also.”
Joh 8:20, Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in
the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet
come.
Joh 8:21, Jesus said therefore again to them, “I am going away, and
you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you
can’t come.”
Joh 8:22, The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, that he
says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come?’”
Joh 8:23, He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above.
You are of this world. I am not of this world.
Joh 8:24, I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for
unless you believe that I am* he, you will die in your sins.”
Joh 8:25, They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said
to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
Joh 8:26, I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you.
However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from
him, these I say to the world.”
Joh 8:27, They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the
Father.
Joh 8:28, Jesus therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up
the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of
myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.
Joh 8:29, He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me
alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
Joh 8:30, As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
Joh 8:31, Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him,
“If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
Joh 8:32, You will know the truth, and the truth will make you
free.”*
Joh 8:33, They answered him, “We are Abraham’s seed, and have
never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made
free?’”
Joh 8:34, Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone
who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
Joh 8:35, A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son
remains forever.
Joh 8:36, If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free
indeed.
Joh 8:37, I know that you are Abraham’s seed, yet you seek to
kill me, because my word finds no place in you. (emphasis
added)
Joh 8:38, I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you
also do the things which you have seen with your father.”
Joh 8:39, They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said
to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works
of Abraham.
Joh 8:40, But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the
truth, which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.
Joh 8:41, You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We
were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”
Joh 8:42, Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father,
you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I
haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.
Joh 8:43, Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t
hear my word.
Joh 8:44, You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do
the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and
doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When
he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its
father.
Joh 8:45, But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.
(emphasis added)
Joh 8:46, Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why
do you not believe me?
Joh 8:47, He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you
don’t hear, because you are not of God.”
Joh 8:48, Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you
are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
Joh 8:49, Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my
Father, and you dishonor me.
Joh 8:50, But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and
judges.
Joh 8:51, Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he
will never see death.”
Joh 8:52, Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a
demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps
my word, he will never taste of death.’
Joh 8:53, Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The
prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
Joh 8:54, Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is
nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is
our God.
Joh 8:55, You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I
don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and
keep his word.
Joh 8:56, Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and
was glad.”
Joh 8:57, The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty
years old, and have you seen Abraham?”
Joh 8:58, Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you,
before Abraham came into existence, I AM.*”
Joh 8:59, Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus
was hidden, and went out of the temple, having gone through the midst
of them, and so passed by. (emphasis
added)
I
know, this IS a long passage, but well worth the time to read. The
Pharisees just didn’t want to hear what Jesus had to say and would
not believe the truth no matter what Jesus said. Their hearts were
hard and their mindset adamant. This sort of thinking is not
restricted to the first century, it is alive and well in the 21st.
It is true in both religion and politics. Hate escalates from thought
to action. Its source is demonic and its rage insatiable. I
read somewhere today that 80% of all religiously inspired murders are
against Christians, numbering many, many thousands over the past
decade. Nothing changes, evil is insatiable. What next, will someone
try to assassinate Donald Trump?
I urge everyone out there -
pray for our country, our president, our fellow Christians worldwide.
Evil is a formidable adversary, but God can defeat anything that
Satan can devise.
