As Amos speaks of the times they are living in, just how evil and unjust it was, it would be prudent to keep silent. He's not being hypocritical by him continuing to preach because it is given to some to be spokesmen during such times, but as we are witnessing now , it could mean loss of income, physical violence against ones person, a cause of division or in some cases even death.

In studying the Parable of the Five wis and Five foolish virgins seems as though all where in the Church but only five (5) where saved, due to a lack of a relationship with The Bridegroom. We have to continue to be filled with the Spirit which oil here is a symbol of. Wisdom helps develop prudence in everyday living, its' a attribute that is developed, but wisdom comes from asking God for it.

Prudence is something that denotes a great deal about God's children because it does not come in a vacuum but by real world experiences of our interacting with it through God's word and leading of His spirit. It develops over time, as we see with all the wisdom of Solomon we see at times where he lacked prudence.

I want to finish talking about the fellowship of Christ suffering in which the believer is enjoined to be a partaker of. But just as Jude had to address a pressing issue of the times, I want also to remind you Amos said we're living in a evil time, and that the prudent will keep silent.

We now look at the fellowship of His suffering, which really brings us to the New Testament meaning of the word. As in Luke 23:31 and other places, like drinking of the cup we see Jesus telling us that we must learn to deny ourselves and take up our cross to follow Him, is that we shall present our bodies as sacrifices for His cause to partake in the glory to be revealed.

We need to know what true fellowship is, which warrants a look at the early Church of Acts 2:42, exactly what is meant by fellowship today have lost all of it' cohesiveness. What binds together today in fellowship are shear works of the flesh and corrupt human nature (depravity). The tongue being the instrument that sets all ablaze, with political and religious division.

It is not good that man should be alone, was what God said in the beginning. God has created us for fellowship, As part of a family, in which He instills His character, writing His laws upon our hearts, us by His Spirit teaching, us leading us into all truths.

Th scripture tells us to be continuing filled with the spirt, which is what we do , praying, studying, meditating on the scriptures and doing the truth (walking in the word). But Jesus was born full or Grace and Truth, in all the purity that was Holiness.

It seems as though Pilate ask a rhetorical question "What is Truth", because he leaves out without answering it, or Receiving a response from Jesus. We know that Jesus is "The Truth, a real embodiment of truth. Biblical truth refers to the objective and absolute reality revealed in God's Word, rooted in God's unchanging character and will.
