Man, that last sentence at the end of the video... that hits deep. "We do not know in advance whether the lover or the psychologist is giving the more correct account of love, or whether both accounts are equally correct in different ways, or whether both are equally wrong. We just have to find out." The common man may ask, "How can I truly *know* that Jesus Christ loves me?" Well, I can provide you all the philosophical evidence of such and teach you all the Christian doctrines regarding His love, but I am not the one to give it to you. Unless you step out and seek it yourself, you will have no conception of what it looks like. Therefore, as Lewis said, *we just have to find out* -- that is, pursue Christ with all our being and seek to know His love, for once that blessed moment comes, then you will *know* that Jesus Christ loves you.
I would much prefer to find out whether and to what extent I can love Jesus Christ. To find out he loves me would not be either surprising or very rewarding. This because I have never found satisfaction in knowing that people love me. There is a tremendous joy however in loving them.
I have been looking for this passage. Thank you so much for posting it and reading it in such a compelling way. Such a marvelous explanation of the weaknesses of scientism! C.S. Lewis was a genius of metaphor.
