Resolve to know only about Jesus, the Crucified Christ

March 22, 2018

“I was resolved that the only knowledge I would have... was knowledge of Jesus, and of Him as the Crucified Christ.”

1 Corinthians 2:2

Knowledge is something everyone likes to have, because knowledge makes one powerful. People like to boast and show off their knowledge in various fields and domains. Before his conversion, Saint Paul, the Apostle of Divine Wisdom, was no different. He was a master of the Law and a very knowledgeable man, and prided himself on it. But once he met the Lord Jesus Christ, he realised that all his former knowledge was but a grain of sand, a drop of water beside the vast and eternal ocean of Divine Wisdom, presented to humanity in the person of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Crucified and Risen Saviour of the whole human race. But there is a condition to receive the knowledge of Jesus - all those who wish to know Jesus must make a resolve: a resolve to know only about Jesus, and of Him as the Crucified Christ.
