John 1:1-14
Jesus and God were Together in the Beginning
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
1 John 4:8
God is LOVE
8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
John 14:6
Jesus is Truth
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 8:31-32
The Truth Shall Set Us Free
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
John 18:37
Jesus Came to Testify to the Truth
37 "You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me."
Hebrews 13:5
True LOVE Will Never Leave or Forsake Us
5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
“Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you.”
This may sound simple but there are things in life that one's personal understanding explains...And when one gains more understanding on an idea, or a concept, or their job, or whatever they do more often and understand better, the better they get at doing these things...People can do better things with more understanding...And the more understanding of different subjects one has, the more they can do and the better they do these things...The more we understand about the ones we love, the better we can love them...And the more things we understand, naturally the more knowledge we gain...And with more knowledge we run across more facts and the more data and information we have access to...With more information we can learn and understand more, and the more truths we come across in our lives...
God is LOVE...Jesus is Truth...And Jesus tells us that He came to earth to testify about Truth...And He says when we know the Truth is will set us free...Things that are the Truth in life will always be true...And True LOVE will always be LOVE...Truth is not here one minute and gone the next...Truth endures...But also LOVE endures...And Pure LOVE is eternal...Truth and LOVE will never leave us...
I believe that understanding and truth and love are very much related...Understanding is personal, as is love and truth...I believe that Complete Understanding is LOVE...I also believe that Complete Understanding is Truth...And I also believe that when One understands everything They are Divine...Complete Understanding is free from anything and everything...
This maybe a silly example, but for those who have seen the movie It's a Wonderful Life, they see a very nice man named George Bailey, who at the end of the movie comes home with a problem and is very upset, lost, and does not know what to do...It is on Christmas Eve, when his life seems the most shattered...His assistant has lost the payment to their building and loan business...And without the payment the company will be taken over by an evil banker named Potter, and George may have to go to jail...When George comes home he takes all his upset feelings out on his wife and children...George (who is a very lovable man) is very hard to love at this particular time on Christmas Eve...At this time his wife does not understand why he is acting and saying mean and nasty things to his children...Now his wife loves him and understands something must be wrong...George leaves and his wife calls his workplace and finds out that he is in trouble...She now understands better, why he is acting the way he is...He soon will be arrested and go to jail, if he cannot make the building and loan payment...This understanding by the wife, about the problems he is having, helps her with her love she has for her husband...And God knows each and every one of us -inside and out...
I can better understand this about the One who completely understands...Complete Understanding is clearer for me, after watching this movie...When people get in trouble they often act differently...Imagine if there was One who completely knew everything...Now by this silly movie example, I can better see that if there was or is One who understands everything completely, they must be LOVE...That One would always know what is on our minds, what is upsetting us or keeping us in the mood we are in...They would know why we are acting the way we are, regardless of whether we are upset or are happy, young or old, rich or poor...The One with Complete Understanding would know all our frustrations, all our worries, and all about our good and our bad times...They would know the times when we are sick, and times when we are well, and how we act and feel in those times too...
So I think with Complete Understanding you would be LOVE...And I also think if you had Complete Understanding you would know all Truths...You would possess not only all the words needed to explain all things, but you would possess all knowledge and all wisdom...Any question about the earth, the universe, the human body, the human brain, could easily and quickly be answered...Any question about anything would be quickly answered and answered correctly...Complete Understanding would possess all the Truths of eternity...Complete Understanding could explain to us how and why the earth is finely tuned so only humans can live on this one planet...Any question could be answered if One had complete understanding...They would know the answer to is that all there is...They would know the purpose to life...They would know the answer to the question why...
I better see that Complete Understanding could be eternal, because Truth and LOVE are eternal things (to me)...Complete Understanding is LOVE, it is Truth, and Complete Undestanding is always forgiving...Complete Understanding is that which is full of LOVE, Grace and Truth...
