Education is about alignment, not enlightenment.

When Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answered them, “Why do you question in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the man who was paralyzed—“I say to you, rise, pick up your bed and go home.”   Luke 5:22-24 (ESV)

When we ask questions, we need to be looking for answers. If we are just trying to prove our point, the questions become pointless.

Jesus made it clear that He was and is God. The evidence was strong.  His actions displayed in public should leave no doubt as to who He was.

Yet still, in the midst of this clear revelation, somehow man remained confused.

When we complicate matters, we choose to remain confused. The overeducated, self- consumed individuals are most difficult to persuade because they are looking for answers that align with their thoughts and feelings.

Education in its purest form leaves the student in awe of what is discovered. The more truth one knows, the dumber one feels. With more understanding comes more sorrow.

Education is about alignment, not enlightenment. Those who comprehend truth and align their lives with the truth have used the information they have gained well. Those who know the truth and do not align their lives with it are fools, and they are dangerous to society.
