We don't discover spiritual truth on our own, not the solid, lasting kind that permeates our being and sets us right. Instead, God reveals it to us by His various methods. This is seen clearly in the Christmas story where all announcement of and guidance to the birth of the Messiah came from divine sources.
Had the angel not appeared to Zacharias
Or to Mary or to shepherds in the field;
If the wise men had no eastern star to guide them
- No one would have known
That the holy Son of God had come, a Savior,
For such revelation comes from God above
To those He would desire to know this treasure;
- Thus the light is shone.
Perhaps no angels have appeared to tell you
And no star has come to'illuminate your way;
But still God would disclose to hungry seekers
- This truth from above.
And like the shepherds, or the wise, or Zacharias
God will reveal to you the wond'rous great good news
That there's a Savior born to all mankind now -
- Jesus, His Son of Love.
