A discussion this week about Christianity got me to thinking. Having grown up in the church and gone to a Christian college, I am familiar with many of the theological terms and questions that people tend to ask.
Many of these questions are truly not answerable as there are many thoughts to the correct answer and, when you get down to it, only Christ would know the correct answer. Some of the questions can lead to heavy theological debates among the highly educated and I have to wonder if even they would continue to have questions.

I am not going to mention these questions because I don't want to embarrass the people involved nor cause unwanted attention to them. I will mention that last night I had the opportunity to discuss these questions with friends that I believe I can ask anything so I did. Also, he has a talent of being able to explain things so everyone can understand.
Though their answers made sense and I followed what he and my wife said, still I didn't quite get it. And, I could sit down and talk with my Pastor who would know the answers and be able to discuss it with me until I did get it.
However, I got to thinking. I know, "Uh Oh!" These questions really don't make any difference whether I know the answer or not, whether I understand it or not. What matters most is that I have to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
Years ago, I asked Jesus to forgive me of my sins and come into my heart- I accepted Him as my personal Savior. That's what matters. And, matters most.

A hymn comes to mind which says so many things related to my thoughts that I want to share it with you-
For I Know Whom I Have Believeth
know not why God’s wondrous grace
To me He hath made known,
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for His own.
But “I know Whom I have believed
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I’ve committed
Unto Him against that day.”
I know not how this saving faith
To me He did impart,
Nor how believing in His word
Wrought peace within my heart.
I know not how the Spirit moves,
Convincing men of sin,
Revealing Jesus through the Word,
Creating faith in Him.
I know not what of good or ill
May be reserved for me,
Of weary ways or golden days,
Before His face I see.
I know not when my Lord may come,
At night or noon-day fair,
Nor if I’ll walk the vale with Him,
Or “meet Him in the air.”
Lyrics: Daniel Webster Whittle (1840-1901)
Music: James McGranahan (1840-1907)
