The Necessity of Experience

We might know about something (head knowledge), but we don’t really know something (heart knowledge) until we’ve experienced it. Without our experience, we really have no clue about the reality of the thing in question.

The same is true with our relationship with God. The people who knew the most about God, the religious leaders of the day, missed recognizing Jesus as the Messiah because they didn't know God. We can't say we know someone, even God, unless we spend time with them and share common experiences with that person.

We don't really know what we don't experience.
