WHJL…Where has Jesus landed?
You have heard me talk time and again about the definitions of Heart, Soul, Mind, and Strength. The heart is the center of the emotions, the soul being the center of your personality, the mind, the center of comprehension, and of course the physical body that is to love the Lord…
I want to go back to the heart and emotions. Scripture in 1 Corinthians 8:1 says that “knowledge puffs up.” Many have taken this verse and built a doctrine on it that says that we are to be about doing more than learning. One could reason that the more knowledge one has, the possibility of more arrogance will be displayed. Although I certainly know some people that this describes, I don’t think Paul was saying don’t learn. Rather he was saying don’t let it stop there.
If all we have are facts about God that we can spout back when called upon and we haven’t allowed Him to take hold of our heart (our emotional center), then we are missing a great blessing of connection. It affects everything in our lives…from how we see ourselves and others, how we interact with others, and most importantly how we interact with the Father.
So simple question today…Where has Jesus landed? Is He stuck in just facts in our head or has He landed in our hearts and we are emotionally attached as well as filled with the knowledge of Him?
Think about it!
