Knowledge

Knowledge.—A daily paper discussing what we know and what we do not know, says, "We know that heat, light, electricity, and motion are one and the same." But do we know it? A writer in the Electrician, London, declares that electricity is a substance which can be manufactured, measured, weighed. The same paper says, "We know that we KNOW NOTHING, and that knowledge is the greatest proof of our progress." If this knowledge of man's ignorance were genuine, then man would at least be willing to learn from God, not only to learn from God, but to learn to know God. For, to all who believe, Jesus Christ is "of God made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption." So knowing the nothing of ourselves, we may know Him; and tho knowing Him not as we ought to know, we may rejoice in that knowledge, and "grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."
