Some thoughts...

My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
         ~Colossians 2:2-3~

So many have an insatiable thirst for knowledge. And yet, if their search does not begin or end with Christ, they remain utterly unsatisfied. In light of Christ being the ultimate source of wisdom and knowledge, don't you find it ironic that so many of the professors in our institutions of higher learning ignore Him?

 Beginning the search for knowledge with Him allows a person to have a reference point for the lessons they learn, as they learn them. They can build upon the foundation of their faith in Him, and can learn to incorporate the Truth into their daily life as they experience it. However, if you have searched the world over and end by discovering Christ as the ultimate Truth, how awesome is that realization and the relief to find the quest concluded!  In this case, perhaps the mind is more at rest, knowing that every corner has been searched, every book opened, every religious system sounded for Truth, and that Truth is now truly, quite finally, found.
