New Truth vs Old Error

How do you feel when your cherished opinion proves to be false in the face of new truth?

For example,Jesus raised some valid truths in John Chapter 8.The following verses show the reactions of the Jews to them:

“”Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.” “You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!“Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself,slipping away from the temple grounds.”-John 8:56-59

Rarely do people feel happy when confronted with new truth.Anyways,it is normal to feel awkward about it.But after overcoming the initial shock,it is wise to take heed,because truth will never be sweet where error used to live!

“Nothing is more injurious to new truth than an old error”-Goethe.
