Good Morning Friends,
“My purpose is that they may be encouraged in
heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete
understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ,
in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” (Colossians 2:2-3)
There is a tremendous amount of wisdom and
knowledge in this world. None of us can keep up with the exponential growth of
the things that are known. I’m astounded when I stop to think about what is
known and done today that wasn’t even imagined 30 years ago. I wonder what kind
of wisdom and knowledge will open up in the next 30 years that we don’t even
imagine today.
I know people who are incredibly smart. I am
humbled by their brilliance and can’t even begin to keep up with what they
know.
But here’s the truth that Paul declares to
the Colossians – complete understanding of life is not about the amount of
wisdom and knowledge that is gained in this world. Complete understanding of
life is wrapped up in God’s gift to us – Jesus.
Life is really not about the amount of
knowledge that a person can accumulate. It’s not about what we know. Instead,
it’s about Who we know. God offers us the opportunity to know Him, through
Jesus.
At the end of my life I may have lagged far
behind the wisdom and knowledge of this world. I already feel as though I am
losing ground. In Jesus, I’ll know everything that truly matters!
His, by Grace,
Steve
