After Knowing the Truth

Christ Jesus said: "There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs."

So, people should be afraid that their wrong deeds and crimes would be exposed to the public sooner or later.  But people could also expect that their good conducts and kindness would be appreciated by the public someday. 

Through the history, past mysteries have been studied, revealed, and explained one after another.  Past conspiracies have been broken.  And real aspects of past incidents have been exposed.

But, still there are many mysteries in the history, and scholars, professors, and researchers in addition to organizations publicly or privately established for quests of truth have been working to unravel riddles in the history.

The largest mystery must be the fact that the God once appeared among people or the Son of the God or a saint from the God once appeared among people as a physically ordinary man to be killed by men.

How could the Son of the God who is almighty be killed by men?  And how could Son of the God be put to death, while He was almighty?  This is the largest mystery in this world.

We have not yet been able to present the clear answer.  But due to this incident of the killing of the Son of the God by men, the mankind has obtained the clear concept of the God.  Today, the concept or the image of the God has prevailed in the world due to development of Christianity, being accompanied by Judaism and Islam.

Any secrets will be revealed, which is said in the Bible.  And the biggest secret is what Christ Jesus was.  So, the history of the mankind will at least continue till people come to understand what He was.   

But what will happen or what we should do if a mystery is revealed is not clearly stated in the Bible. Following the relevant phrases in the Gospel, there are words as follows:
“I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.   But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him."

We will know that we should be afraid of the God at last after knowing the truth.
