Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. (I Corinthians 13:12 ESV)
Fully
When I eat, I usually eat all the food on my plate. When I read a book, I usually finish it. When I mow the lawn, I usually mow it from edge to edge. We are usually more comfortable with completeness, than we are with half-finished things.
Maybe that is why we are discouraged spiritually, often. Because we do not see how the eternal story ends. We see incomplete salvation. We see unfinished sanctification. We see partial Godliness.
And we yearn for the grand end of the story.
But not for long.
In that place where love fully is, we will see things as they are. Paul encourages us in this verse by reminding us that just as we are absolutely known by Christ… we will absolutely know Him, His Kingdom, and all we need to know.
Outside of Christ, no one has that.
We are peculiar, we will know fully.
