Love? Or Knowledge? - Love Worth Finding - February 29

A young girl's innocent question about angels sparks a profound discussion on the relative importance of knowledge and love, leading to a surprising revelation from her father about the biblical distinction between cherubim and seraphim. According to 1 Corinthians 13:2, love truly is the greatest of these three virtues, and this simple yet powerful lesson has far-reaching implications for our understanding of faith and devotion.

Love? Or Knowledge?

FEBRUARY 29

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. - 1 Corinthians 13:13

A little girl was reading the Bible one day and came across a picture of angels. She asked her daddy, “What is the difference between a cherubim and a seraphim?” Well, this daddy didn’t know, but he took her to the encyclopedia and they looked for the answer.

He discovered the cherubim excelled in knowledge, and seraphim excelled in love.

The little girl thought for a minute and said, “When I die, I will be a seraphim. I’d rather love God than know everything.” That’s pretty good!

First Corinthians 13:2 says, “And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” Love excels knowledge.
