DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.W. Tozer emphasizes that truth is not elusive but rather a person--
Jesus Christ--who actively seeks us. He argues that the rarity of truth
among people stems not from its inaccessibility but from a reluctance to
obey it. Tozer points out that while many approached Jesus for physical
healing, few sought Him for the deeper truth He offered. The sermon
highlights the idea that truth is pursuing us, and it is our
responsibility to respond to that pursuit. Ultimately, Tozer reminds us
that many are called to embrace this truth, but only a few choose to
accept it.

Let me say boldly that it is not the difficulty of discovering truth,
but the unwillingness to obey it, that makes it so rare among men. Our
Lord said, "I am the Truth." And again He said, "The Son of Man is come
to seek and to save that which was lost." Truth, therefore, is not hard
to find for the very reason that it is seeking us! So we learn that
Truth is not a thing for which we must search, but a Person to whom we
must hearken! In the New Testament, multitudes came to Jesus for
physical help, but only rarely did one seek Him out to learn the Truth.
The whole picture in the gospels is one of a seeking Savior, not one of
seeking men. The Truth was hunting for those who would receive it, and
relatively few did, for "many are called, but few are chosen."
