John,
When reading thru your Job notes, I just wondered if I am getting the point on the phrase “love of Christ, which surpasses knowledge” in the sentence below. Can you expound on the phrase,” love surpasses knowledge”? Here it is. Paul said, “and to know the love of Christ, which surpasses knowledge, so that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.”

Hi Wendell.
It’s simple, really. Paul is just saying that the love of God is better than knowledge about God. I would say that the whole point of learning about God is to be able to walk in His love. It might even be said that to walk in God’s love is to truly know Him.
Uncle Joe once testified in a meeting that he didn’t want to know more than he could love. That is a good prayer. Whatever we know, it is what people feel from us that means the most. Jesus said that all men would know that we were his disciples by the love we have, one to another, not by the amount of information we have about God.
God help us be known by that love!
Pastor John
