“Oh, don’t tell me that. I don’t want to know.” The truth hurts, doesn’t it? Yes, when someone tells us something about ourselves that we do not want to know, the truth does hurt, but the purpose of speaking the hard truth is to help. God’s Word comes to us this way: Its hard truth hurts, the truth of the law hurts, because it shows us our sins. But we must remember the purpose of this: to show us our need for Jesus, the saving Gospel Truth, who saves us in the power of his forgiveness, won at the cross. Come and hear this sermon based on Amos 7:10-15
