KNOW, LOVE, LIVE
Confucius has been quoted as saying...
"Those who know the truth are not
equal to those who love it, and those
who love it are not equal to those who live it."
Take any "truth" we may stumble upon or
have thrust upon us, and we discover that
there are basically three stages that we usually
have to go through before we can claim a "truth"
as being fully ours...
First, we must have a head knowledge or
intellectual knowledge. A lot of demons in
Christ's time could say to Him, "I know who
you are."
But, there was no love there, only fear and
trembling. Three times after His resurrection,
Jesus asked Peter if he loved Him. And all three
time Peter replied, "Lord, you know I do." Peter
had an heart understanding of the thruth. Three
times, Peter told Christ of his love.
Jesus replied "Feed My Sheep." Saying, in essence...
"You know the truth, you love the truth. Now, for
the rest of your life go out among the people and
live the truth."
Know, Love, Live...And we shall never be the same
again.
