It’s not what you know…

An ounce of doing is better than a pound of knowing. Jesus condemned the religious experts for “crushing people under unbearable burdens and failing to lift a finger to ease their burdens.” The goal of the apostle’s instruction is love (1Ti 1:5). If I speak with the tongues of men and angels but have not love, I’m a clanging symbol (1Co 13:1). The measure of maturity is not knowledge, but love. Jesus challenges us again and again to use our earthly wealth and talents to ease the burdens of others (Luk 11:40, 12:33). Store up treasures in heaven. The prestige of being an expert is nothing compared to the honor of being a servant.
