“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” JOHN 17:3 When I was a kid if somebody did something really well or seemed to know a lot about something, we would say, “He or she really knows their stuff”. When riding around town if I see a lawn or garden that is outstanding, I might comment about their ability to garden or their ability to hire somebody who “knows their stuff”.
When we sit in a Sunday School class and someone teaches a really good lesson, adding their knowledge to the prepared materials, again, “they really know their stuff”.
A lot of people know all about the Trinity, the Books of the Bible, even something about some of the authors. We have “head knowledge” about religion but little experience about the spiritual life. We are missing Heaven by about fifteen inches.
Today, many of us have found personal relationships with Jesus, God or have had a life changing encounter with the Holy Spirit. We have now entered into the spiritual side of religion which will continue past our short stay here on Earth.
If you have met Jesus, on your knees, you have begun a new journey that will take you down new pathways and through new “gardens” as you learn more about your spiritual side of life and eternity in Heaven. You will “really know your stuff”.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 2 Corinthians 5:17
Gardening Tip: Deadhead annuals. Annuals need to flower and create seed in one season, so taking off the flower as soon as it fades not only keeps the plant looking attractive, it also encourages the plant to put out more blooms.
