KNOWING HIM

KNOWING HIM


Phil. 3:10 says, "I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection
and the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings....."The Amplified Bible
says, "(For my determined purpose is ) that I may know Him (that I may
progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him,
perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His person more
strongly and more clearly)........OK, this is a heavy verse, but I want to
just take that part of it and camp for a minute.


My purpose, your purpose is to KNOW Christ! The verb form of the greek
word there is "gnosco" and is acquired knowledge through perception. My
life is a book and so is yours! All of us have the same title.......KNOWING
CHRIST by Wendy McLeod. You have one too. There are chapters like,
"Knowing Christ in the Rubble." "Knowing Christ in the Whirlwind." In
Every Season. What would my chapter be right now? What would yours be?
This is so cool. The noun form of that word is "gnosis" and it means
knowledge - present and a fragment of it. The commentary put it this way
and I love it! "The little that I know, the fragments that I know, are
worth the lose of EVERYTHING that I've had to give up!" Don't you just love
that??


Our determined purpose is to Know Christ, so it must become our goal to put
all these fragments of knowledge about Christ to work until we have a
working knowledge of who He is! Then when we see Him face to face it will
be COMPLETE! That is the goal!


So, pull up a chair, get in the Word and sit across from Him and get to know
the mind of the One who paints the sky, who made the oceans, who formed you
in your mother's womb! What a Savior! He is so worth KNOWING!!

I love you!
