Knowing God - Knowing about God
Last Thursday morning I realized that I've grown to know alot about God and this journey we're on...although knowing "about" God isn't what John 17:3 describes as "eternal life"...it's about "knowing" God, Jesus intimately...personally. The past few days a few mental pictures have come to mind; we know alot about the president but we don't know the president. Our "knowing" the president would involve personal encounters with him on a regular basis...walking through life with him...not just study sessions where we learn about the president...but intimate times of fellowship with the president.Jesus chose us (John 15:16), that's certainly a good place to start. It's nice when someone choses to know you...and as the prior verses say...He calls us friends.
Some statements to consider...
Paul was not given a message or a doctrine to proclaim. He was brought into a vivid, personal, overpowering relationship with Jesus Christ. Paul was devoted to a Person, not to a cause.
"For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified"
Seeking to know Jesus, my friend, who chose me.
