HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW?

"One rare and exceptional deed is worth far more than a thousand commonplace ones." - Saint Ignatius

In Christianity, you are either hot or your cold. You're either black or white. There are no shades of grey, else you'll become a casualty. As a child of God, how much exceptional deed are you doing that shows your allegiance? Are you a serious, die-hard, committed Christian or you're a laid back, seasonal church -goer?

Jack Kuhatschek, in Taking The Guesswork Out of Applying The Bible narrates the following story. While studying in the Holy Lands, a seminary professor of mine met a man who claimed to have memorized the Old Testament - in Hebrew! Needless to say, the astonished professor asked for a demonstration. A few days later they sat together in the man's home. "Where shall we begin?" asked the man. "Psalm 1," replied my professor, who was an avid student of the Psalms. Beginning with Psalm 1:1, the man began to recite from memory, while my professor followed along in his Hebrew Bible. For two hours the man continued word for word without a mistake as the professor sat in stunned silence. When the demonstration was over, my professor discovered something even more astonishing about the man - he was an atheist!

Here was someone who knew the Scriptures better than most of us Christians ever will, and yet he didn't even believe in God. The proof that God loves us, is reflected in Him sacrificing Jesus Christ for us. What is your proof that you love Him? Will you allow those who don't believe in our God, show you how to love Him?

 

Let us pray: Father, may your Words abide in me, in Jesus name.
