Recognizing What We CAN Know And What We CAN'T Know

It’s a very good thing to try to grow in learning and knowledge and our understanding of things.  But it’s helpful, for our peace of mind, to realize that there are some things that are beyond us and we will never understand them [it’s part of being a finite creature].  Recognizing the difference between the things we can know and the things we can’t know is an aspect of wisdom.

It's actually quite comforting to know that there are things that will only be made known when we're with Jesus. It takes the pressure off of trying to figure everything out. If something doesn't make complete sense, that's okay, it will. That's where faith comes in.
