John 20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
[Early Writings pp 184] Notwithstanding the lying reports circulated, the resurrection of Christ could not be concealed by Satan, his angels, or the chief priests; for this holy company, brought forth from their graves, spread the wonderful, joyful news. Also, Jesus showed Himself to His sorrowing, heart-broken disciples, dispelling their fears and causing them joy and gladness. As the news spread from city to city and from town to town, the Jews in their turn feared for their lives and concealed the hatred which they cherished toward the disciples..
Thus, try as they might to squish the truth in the matter, it just kept popping up in the public view until the guilty parties had run out of all options and lies. These experiences which took place in bygone years have very serious implications and lessons for those who are living in the 21st century. It is always better to come clean with God, and with our fellowmen, in situations where sin or crimes have been committed to others.
In fact, the Christian is to live as if in the sight of God so that all our doings would be in broad daylight, so that if for any reason, enemies and frenemies try to dig up dirt on you as they did with Daniel, you won’t panic because of the investigation, because you will have nothing to hide. As was stated before, Christ is not in the business of exposing the private sins of anyone, but if they are left unconfessed and unforsaken, they would bubble up to the surface sooner or later, because this is the guarantee given in the Scriptures.
Numbers 32:23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
