Knowing the theory

After Luke 10:25-37 

He knew the answer

before he asked the question;

after all, he’d studied, and

trained with, and by,

a knowledgeable teacher,

he’d been rewarded

with praise and

commendation, so he knew

the answer, the answer

in the book, and he 

expected more praise and

commendation. Instead,

he received a mild, if

loving, rebuke. He knew

the theory; he had yet

to learn the practice.
