Truth as a Person

Fellow Labourers-

Today's reading has to do with facts versus knowledge. Sometimes the two are the same, but at other times we may fail to distinguish between the two. The article brought a smile to my face because it took me back to July 1970. I saw my wife in July of 1970 even before we ever met. It was a morning that I hope to never forget, as the sun came up from the Eastern skies and shone around this lone girl on her way to work. The fact is I saw her and had some facts about her physical appearance that appealed to my eye gate. After 39 years I am still learning about her.

Those of us who were privileged to be at the memorial service on Tuesday November 17th can say some our facts have become knowledge. We knew for a fact that Jesus died to save us, but it is now knowledge that he knew us before the foundations of the world. Not only did he know us from thence, but he saved us. Knowing whose we are and who we are, are important criteria for us living a victorious life. We are in a progressive dynamic that may appear regressive to the untrained mind. But God be thanked who has given us the victory through our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.

Is it a fact or knowledge to you that nothing shall be able to separate you from the love of God. Why? If you are a sheep of the good Shepherd nothing shall be able to pluck you out of his hand. This truth is to be found in the person of Jesus Christ who said "I am the good shepherd and I lay down my life for the sheep."

Pax Vobiscum
