Discovering God Through Knowledge and Understanding

Ancient Manuscript: Gospel of Thomas

Saying: 2

My Reflection on Verse:

We must search for the truth.  It is through this that we discover what we are seeking.  We find the many things that Jesus wants us to know.  It is a matter of using your mind to search.

Once you discover the truth your mind will become troubled.  For you not only find the Salvation of Jesus.  You also discover the truth of what you have done.  Through searching you will come to the point that your knowledge is so vast that you start to wonder about your own life.  You have gained the wisdom, similar to what Adam and Eve discovered in the Garden of Eden.  They had learned the truth by eating of the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil they came to understand their shortcomings.  As you continue to seek you will also come to the knowledge of what has been good and bad in your own life.

Those that have come to the knowledge of what they have done in life.  Those that also have knowledge have found their way to the salvation of Jesus.  It is in that moment when you are most troubled that you come to understand how much you need God in your life.  If you had not searched for the truth and be killed with knowledge you would never come to the point where you were troubled with your life.  Once you are troubled you will come to the understanding that all can disappear from your life as long as you give it over to Jesus.  Wisdom of the past and future will lead one to accept the good fortunes of the future when they come to accept the savior.  We will then have the knowledge that we need to live our life in Reverence of God.

Questions to Ask Yourself:

Are you seeking for understanding?  Have you discovered the fact that you have fallen short of what God wants in your life.  Have you accepted that you must have Jesus in your life?  Have you turned your life over to God because of the knowledge that you have come to understand?
