Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead… I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen – Revelation 1:5, 18

In these times, when the foundations of our faith are constantly being undermined, one is sometimes driven to say to himself, “Suppose it is not true.” As I stood, the other night, beneath the sky, and watched the stars, I felt my heart going up to the great Maker with all the love that I was capable of. I said to myself, “What made me love God as I know I do? What made me feel an anxiety to be like Him in purity? Whatever made me long to obey my God cannot be a lie.” I know that it was the love of Jesus for me that changed my heart, and made me, though once careless and indifferent to Him, now to pant with strong desires to honour Him. What has done this? Not a lie, surely. A truth, then, has done it. I know it by its fruits. If this Bible were to turn out untrue, and if I died and went before my Maker, could I not say to Him, “I believed great things of Thee, great God; if it be not so, yet did I honour Thee by the faith I had concerning Thy wondrous goodness, and Thy power to forgive”? and I would cast myself upon His mercy without fear. But we do not entertain such doubts; for those dear wounds continually prove the truth of the gospel, and the truth of our salvation by it. Incarnate Deity is a thought that was never invented by poet’s mind, nor reasoned out by philosopher’s skill. Incarnate Deity, the notion of the God that lived, and bled, and died in human form, instead of guilty man, it is itself its own best witness. The wounds are the infallible witness of the gospel of Christ.~ C.H. Spurgeon
