TO KNOW OR NOT TO KNOW

 

Sometimes you see a child doing something out of lack of knowledge, experience or understanding.

You may smile, ignore, teach or correct them.

They may ‘see’ or ‘not see’ what you’re saying.

Sometimes, the issue is with your communication.

Other times, regardless of how you communicate, they may still not comprehend the depth and importance of what you’re saying.

Until later, perhaps. Or maybe, never.

But most times, until sometime later, it will begin to make sense and understanding will dawn on them.

This understanding may be precipitated by certain events and experiences. 

When Christ looked at those who crucified Him, He made certain unique statements worthy of note.

He prayed the Father’s forgiveness for the fundamental ignorance they had demonstrated in their act of conspiracy, injustice and cruelty. 

Why did He pray for them to be forgiven (obviously from the looming consequences) rather than feel sorry for Himself?

Why did He also ask those weeping for Him to rather weep for themselves and their children?

Perspective. 

Knowledge.

He knew something they didn’t know.

He saw something they couldn’t see.

What?

Truth. Overarching truth.

He knew how the entire thing would end.

He knew that the drama was transient.

He knew their power had an expiration.

He could see the ultimate, unending outcome.

Mockers in Time are weepers in Eternity.

Take your pick—make your informed choice.

Now, whatever is happening, what do you know?

Is it the truth? Or is it falsehood?

Where did you source it from?

Just some prodding thoughts to help you.

I wish you the best.
