Tell It Like It Is

 

We should tell it like it is, or tell the truth to the best of our ability. I am commenting prior to sharing a weekly homily from the 1992 Revised Common Lectionary, and this homily is posted weekly on Page 7 of The Cavalier Chronicle. Here it is: “Telling The Truth: “In court, we establish truth by the account of witnesses. We know what we saw and lived. Credibility comes from personal experience. Jesus’ follower shared their witness. That’s why we can join other followers in church this week. We, too, can be witnesses. You are witnesses of these things. Luke 24: 36b-48.”

 

My response: I do not know that the last word in credibility comes from witnesses sharing their personal experience as to what they saw and lived, but affirmative witnesses do generally bring credence to a claim.

 

We are the share with the world what we have witnessed and learned from Jesus and other good deities, and this is the good news that we are to share with a troubled world.
