We have all seen the “bait and switch” gambit. But what about when something is not as advertised? I saw that Subway had another class action lawsuit alleging that they were not putting as much meat in their sandwiches as they said they were.

I say “another” lawsuit because it was just a few years ago they faced a lawsuit alleging that their footlong sandwiches were only eleven inches long. Wouldn’t you feel cheated if that happened to you? It may not seem like that big of a deal, until you consider that millions of those sandwiches are sold. That adds up to a lot. That lawsuit was settled by a promise that they would make sure the bread measured up.

Most folks have become pretty cynical about this. It is almost as though you expect to be cheated or shortchanged in your dealings with others. Is there actually such a thing as truth in advertising?

Thanks be to God! We know His promises are true. He is unique in this regard.

Acts 13:32–33a “We tell you the good news: What God promised our fathers he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus.”

Has any other god ever said, “I will send my Son down to earth to become one of you. He will live among you, take you sins on Himself, and pay for them by offering His perfection to cover you imperfection. If you believe in Him, I will forgive you for His sake.”

Only the one true God, the Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, made this promised.
Those who follow Him are the only ones who can say, “We have good news. It was promised all through the Old Testament And fulfilled in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.”

As we continue in this Easter season, our faith affirms that “A risen Christ is proof of God’s Truth in Advertising.”
