“Seek & defend the truth.” What a message!

(When I read that, verses from the Bible, the Word of the Living God, came to my mind straight away.)

I saw the words written on a bus, a minibus. They were actually part of a coat of arms. The heraldic bearings of a person, family, or corporation are called coat of arms. KAITAIA COLLEGE was also written on the minibus.

I was in fact on my way to the local library here in Kaitaia and that was just the place to find out more about the coat of arms and the Kaitaia College.

All I could find at the library was the 2007 Kaitaia College book, a slender volume. But that was enough information  for me. The Kaitaia coat of arms was on the front-page and underneath was written:

“SEEK & DEFEND THE TRUTH.”

I mentioned already, that verses from the Bible, the Word of the Living God are coming to my mind, when I read that.

In John 14:6, the Lord Jesus says that he is not only the TRUTH, but that he is “the way and the truth.”

Listen also to what the Bible says in Jeremiah 29:13 “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Let us rejoice together!

And what does the apostle Paul say in his letter to the Philippians? Philippians 1:16 “The latter do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the defence of the GOSPEL.”
