Theology

One day, on the way to a place, I sat on a moving train, my friend had a talk about theology. He said we must learn theology at soon at possible, and do not wait until we are old, we must learned when we are young. Good friend talk about a theologian, he said he had find the beauty of theology, he said that theology is fact is very beautiful, he explained what is the beauty of theology.

For example, The Lord’s Supper. The Lord said, “It is my body”. The good theologian explained that the body is the body of Christ. The blood is the blood of the Lord. The Good Theologian said suppose one day, the Lord came to you, and he show you a pen, and the Lord said to you, “this is my pen.” The theologian said, you must agree with the Lord, about His statement, firstly that is a pen, and secondly the pen belongs to the Lord. You must not argue with the Lord and say to the Lord, “Lord, I do not think it is a pen, it does not look like real, it is not a pen, because it does not look like a real pen, it a pencil, I think.” But you must agree with the Lord, when the Lord said, “This is my body…and this is my blood.” Even though, the holy communion does not look like the body and blood of the Lord, but the Lord pronounce them, “Yes, they are.” So we must accept them by faith. We accept the Holy Communion with gladness, and we knew the Lord had given His body and blood for us.

Spiritually, the bread and wine bring us great blessing. This is the greatest blessing God given us in a term of material, I now partake the Lord’s supper with another kind of reverence, and thank God, for the bread and wine. By faith I now, partake, these are the real body and blood of Jesus Christ. Amen. See, a Good theologian explains with simplicity, and the truth is understood, even young men also can understand this and we thank God for good theologian. Did you find any theologian so far, who can explain the beauty of theology to you, hoping you will like to study theology one day.

But some theologians are totally different from these good theologian, those theologians, bring us head knowledge like the theory of VPP, but that does not bring us any goodness, they bring us into the dead end, and people did not see the beauty of the theology. Rather people see the ugly side of the knowledge. Do you want to be a good theologian? You must look to the Lord, He is the best theologian. “He said He is the truth.” Do you believe that statement? As simple as that, a big first step into theology.
