I am convinced that the great danger is when we think we know. Then the mystery is ceased, and our quest is over, and we rest ourselves somewhere in the desert short of the promised land.
When we believe into the Lord Jesus Christ, we are initiated into a wondrous journey, the bounds of which we cannot comprehend nor guess. All we know is that we love this One, and we are willing to follow Him moment by moment, and day by day. Everything else is the vast unknown.
And, too, we know the Great Command of following this love: "Love one another".
But beyond knowing this, that God loved me and sent His Son, and now commands me in this perfect love, to find love in and toward others... what do I know?
Like Paul said to the Greeks, "I know nothing among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified."
All theological speculation must at last give way, and yield its place to the truth of God's love, which I find in Jesus Christ.
