How To Know Jesus!
"That I may know Him."
Philippians 3: 10
“Who is the most important person you know?”
a man asked his friend. “I am,” came the reply.
Some may name a president or prime minister,
a billionaire or movie star. None of the answers
are the best. The apostle Paul said, in essence,
“I want to know Christ.”
The Amplified Bible Classic Edition renders that
phrase this way: “For my determined purpose
is
that I may know Him [that I may become more
deeply acquainted with Him, perceiving and
recognizing and understanding the wonders
of His Person more strongly and more clearly.”
We’re to give ourselves with intensity to
knowing
Christ Jesus. We’re to be passionate in doing so,
not just in knowing about Him but in knowing Him
personally and progressively, more deeply and
intimately.
Like every other relationship, we draw
close
to Him through time spent in conversation.
That takes prayer (when we speak with Him)
and Bible study (when He speaks to us). That
is why we open our Bibles every day and pray
on a regular basis.
Make sure you don’t miss
your regular meetings with
the Lord!
"It is in getting to know my
Bible that I get to know
Jesus."
