All of us, if we are going to be mature, have to face unpleasant truths to grow and become emotionally healthy. And sometimes we have to be "exhorted" to hear!
For those of us who listened to CCM (Contemporary Music) this poignant message from Fr Barnabas reminds me of a favorite song of years ago, by Michael Card, “Scandalon.”

The seers and the prophets
Had foretold it long ago
That the long "Awaited One"
Would make men stumble
But they were looking for a king
To conquer and to kill
Who'd have ever thought He'd be
So meek and humble
He will be the Truth
That will offend them one and all
A stone that makes men stumble
And a rock that makes them fall
And many will be broken
So that He can make them whole
And many will be crushed
And lose their own soul
He will be the Truth
That will offend them one and all
A stone that makes men stumble
And a rock that makes them fall
And many will be broken
So that He can make them whole
And many will be crushed
And lose their own soul
He will be the Truth
That will offend them one and all
A stone that makes men stumble
And a rock that makes them fall
And many will be broken
So that He can make them whole
And many will be crushed
And lose their own soul
