Since my early years the song "what you won't reveal" by Tal Bachman has disturbed me. Usually, it becomes the origin of some great science fiction where some means is created to violate (that word seems harsh) one's very personal thoughts.. But, as I was thinking deeply this morning I thought about a thing I certainly believed and that (don't know where I heard it initially) "Truth will out." I really like this line: "truth is what truth does. And there never was anything that was true and false."
Summed up. I think there is a way to extrapolate from what is sure to know what is not yet certain. Scripture says plainly as much as well when it says that faith is the evidence of things not seen, that are true. And at a pivotal age I was taught that the purpose of mortality is to learn to "Walk by Faith."
Lately, I have been studying out the evidence that Jesus Christ of Nazareth was the Son of God. Previously deciding that it was an emperor's new clothes sort of thing. Because, my best known indication comes from Peter acknowledging it as true and being told that the only way that can be known is through spiritual revelation.
Then, this morning as I was preparing a lesson about forgiveness and brotherly kindness. It occurred to me that it was the greatest homage to a man to allow him to near constantly be in my words and influence my actions. In the words of Edward DeVere from the movie Anonymous "...people. Hearing the words of one man's mind, now, that's power." he was referring to the influential power of a play, but I thought hey that is like gravity that I fail so often to even notice because it is always present. Jesus is always part of my mind and teachings but why should he be? Yep. Get it?
Then I understood by nearly millions of things, let's just call it evidence, like a randomly played song to a little glimpse here and there that had not been as random as I supposed. They clearly reveal what has never been revealed formally.
