Thought for April 22

[Thought for the Day]

     Those who have been educated in the truth by precept and example should
make great allowance for others who have had no knowledge of the Scriptures
except through the interpretations given by ministers and church members,
and who have received traditions and fables as Bible truth. They are
surprised by the presentation of truth; it is as a new revelation to them,
and they cannot bear to have all the truth, in its most striking character,
presented to them at the outset. All is new and strange and wholly unlike
that which they have heard from their ministers, and they are inclined to
believe what the ministers have told them, that Seventh-day Adventists are
infidels and do not believe the Bible. Let the truth be presented as it is
in Jesus, line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, and there a
little. Evangelism, p. 201
