Message
Alice saw some bad boys when they broke into the School Administrator’s office to steal some valuables. Now the whole school was thrown into confusion as the search for the criminals continued. Three Innocent boys were wrongly accused and the school was about taking a decision to expel them. The actual criminals knew that Alice saw them, and were afraid she would expose them being a Christian. The boys approached Alice with gifts, if only she would keep quiet. Alice rejected their offer and vowed to do the right thing. The boys left then threatened to beat up Alice if she dared expose them. Not moved by their threat, Alice went and told the School Administrator the whole truth.
Christians are expected to always say the truth irrespective of any opposition or threat. We should not fear people more than God. Do not yield to threat by anybody to do something that will make God angry with you. Be truthful and honest at all times.
