As important as it is to know the “truths” of God’s Word, what really counts above all, is to know THE TRUTH… Jesus Christ. Likewise, as much as we need to know the answers to all the basic, critical questions… especially regarding our eternal life… we need to know Jesus IS the answer. That’s not just a cute phrase. It brings all our questions into focus, including the ones I posted a few days ago.
In John 17:3 [KJV] Jesus says, “And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent.”
Again, I’m seeing every need, and every question, come back to one answer… “Know God”.
Matthew 11:27 [KJV] says, “All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.”
1 John 5:20 [KJV] says, “And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
Jesus said in John 14:6 [KJV], “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
Jesus came to “reveal the Father”. The Son of God is come to give us an understanding, that we may “know Him” that is true.
Now, THAT’s what makes asking, seeking, and knocking, so very, VERY exciting. God WANTS to reveal HIMSELF to us!
