"Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?" (Proverbs 22:20,21). "These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning Me" (Luke 24:44).
Excellent things in counsels and thought
Are written from God to you and to me.
Promises written and perfectly wrought,
Makes the truth certain, and truth makes us free.
The Law and the prophets must all be fulfilled,
As well as the Psalms and the words Jesus said.
Thus it was written that Christ would be killed,
And also that Jesus would rise from the dead.
How great is the certainty God thereby gives!
How great is our mission with which we are tasked!
Equipped with the knowledge that Jesus Christ lives,
We ought to be ready to answer when asked.
