John
What comes into our minds when we think about Jesus is the most important thing about us.
A.W. Tozer
Jesus moved into our neighborhood so that we can KNOW him.
ACTS 17:22
It’s God will for us to know him.
Jeremiah 33
The works of Jesus enable us to know him.
He is worth knowing.
A little knowledge of Christ is worth more than a great deal of knowledge about Him.
J.I. Packer
Knowing Jesus is your single greatest privilege as a Christian.
Sinclair Ferguson
There’s a difference between knowing Jesus and knowing about Jesus.
When you truly know Christ, you have energy to serve Him, boldness to share him, and contentment in Him.
Questions
Are you suspicious of you knowledge of Jesus?
Are you satisfied with your knowledge of Jesus?
Jesus moved into our neighborhood so that we can know that he KNOWS and LOVES us.
Jesus experienced real temptation to sin so that we can really overcome sin’s temptation.
Hebrews 4:1
Jesus knows what it is like to experience our experiences.
He is not a cold, emotionless judge, or a flawed, fickle spirit.
He is the only One who has both experienced and overcome the power of sin and temptation.
As the next verse shows, this not only takes away our excuses for failure, it gives us reassurance that, when we fail, He will offer us mercy and compassion.
Jesus became sin so that we could become sons and daughters.
“The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.
“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial.
To be known and not loved is our greatest fear.
But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God.
It is what we need more than anything.
It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.” Tim Keller
When Jesus looked down from the cross, he didn't think "I am giving myself to you because you are so attractive to me." No, he was in agony, and he looked down at us - denying him, abandoning him, and betraying him - and in the greatest act of love in history, he STAYED.
He said, "Father, forgive them, they don't know what they are doing."
He loved us, not because we were lovely to him, but to make us lovely.
