Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

All the wonderful promises that Jesus made before His death must and
will be fulfilled. But there is one GREAT promise that has not yet been
fulfilled, and many Christians think it never will be. They are wrong!
He will not fail.

That great promise is in John 16:13: “When He, the Spirit of truth, is
come, He will guide you into all truth.” We usually think of the Holy
Spirit as giving us happy feelings or of giving great power in
witnessing and producing baptisms; we think that understanding “all
truth” is of lesser importance. But over 200 times the Bible speaks of
the importance of truth. In ordinary life, law courts, juries, judges,
seek constantly to know the truth. Jesus says that it is so important
that “the truth shall make you free” (8:32).

In His same promise that the Holy Spirit will guide us “into all truth”
Jesus promised, “He will show you things to come.” The wording is very
similar to the opening of the Book of Revelation, “the revelation . . .
of things which must shortly come to pass” (1:1). The Book of
Revelation was the fulfillment of Jesus’ promise! And yet Christian
people go in all different directions in understanding what Revelation
is saying!

Likewise, there is confusion in understanding Daniel’s prophecies; yet
God commanded the angel, “Gabriel, make this man to understand the
vision,” and later the angel said to him, “I will show thee the truth”
(8:16; 11:2). Paul spoke of his message as “the truth of the gospel”
(Gal. 2:5). There is as much division in understanding that as there is
in understanding Daniel and the Revelation!

What can bring about a unity and clarity of understanding these
important truths? Surely when that great fourth angel of Revelation
18:1-4 begins to “lighten the earth with glory,” the message that calls
every sincere person “out of Babylon” will be a message of pure,
unadulterated truth. We pray daily for the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
An excellent place to begin finding the answer to that prayer is in
honest, sincere, and humble listening to the Bible to permit it to tell
us what the truth is in all these controverted areas. Jesus did not
promise, “The Holy Spirit will TRY to lead you into all truth,” or “He
wishes He could lead you into all truth.” No, He said He WILL do so. As
surely as I write and you read this, so surely is the Holy Spirit right
now “leading” us into the truth that will bind us together in loving
harmony of belief. Let’s listen to Him!
