Learning new things is the best place for a wandering soul. And as time goes by, these learning become fruitful and make one pave his own way to the place where God wants him to be.

Learning about the history of the Church gave me a picture of what my faith look like. It gave me a glimpse of Jesus teaching me to obey all His commandments and assuring me that He will be with me always to the very end of the age. It is like walking in the path of the Apostles, and listening to the message proclaimed by the Church fathers. That is the effect of history, an experience worth knowing and worth keeping.

Though I know already about Jesus coming to earth, living a perfect life, dying on the cross, and raising from the dead, I can't deny the fact that still I'm learning and can't avoid to be amazed of the things that He has done for all of His creation. I'm learning though they were not new to me, I was able to reflect on them as I look at it in a greater perspective. I especially learned a lot of new words and terms, and knew well about their meanings. Just like the word "tetelestai" which means paid in full. The greatest act of Jesus Christ ones and for all. 

I especially learned from the video that was shown in class on how the early Christians walked. Even when the time of Jesus and the Apostles, it was very evident that God, in His Sovereignty, was really hands on in His redemptive work for all humanity. The Christian history began in the time of Jesus birth, and in His death Christianity flourished all the more. It has then grown greatly and spread more rapidly during the time of the Apostles. This only tells us the significance of the different events written in the Scriptures. The historical records also added much color for us to look picture it out more vividly. As I look back to it and learn more about it, I come to realize that my efforts to make known the Gospel to as much as possible all the people that I will meet, is nothing compared to what the early Christians did. I even realized that God is really full of grace and very much patient to all of us, not wanting anyone to perish (1 Peter 3:9).
I will always be greatly moved witnessing from afar the works of God in the lives of His own people. God's grace never failed to amaze me, especially when it comes to knowing what happened in the past. History is one of the most worth to be treasured valuable here on earth. It gives us a glimpse of life in the midst of all the difficulty, which would make us think and thank God we are here.
Experiencing the grace of God in learning; that would best described what I expect as I study and learn the root of my FAITH!
