A simple question, but an important one.
Consider the answer carefully, as it determines your destiny for eternity.
Do you know Jesus?
Your answer may be, “Of course, I know Him.”
- He was born in Bethlehem.
- A manger was His bed.
- He grew up and had 12 disciples.
- He was crucified.
All true. All correct answers. But with all due respect, these are, “Just the facts, ma’am.”
I’m asking about whether you know Him. Really know Him. Do you have a relationship with Jesus? Not just know about Him – but truly know Him?
Have you given your life to Him? Is your identity for today and for tomorrow and for forever all wrapped up in knowing Him?
Would you prayerfully consider your answers to those questions?
Another Christmas has passed. You may have begun (or even finished) making exchanges, packing away decorations, and eating the last of the Christmas goodies before launching January’s healthy eating plan.
But before you let another Christmas go entirely, I’m praying God would invade your mind and pierce your heart with some probing questions:
- Have I received the gift of eternal life that He offers?
- Do I truly believe that Jesus, the Son of God, condescended to come to earth?
- Do I truly believe that Jesus died the death I deserve and then conquered death and sin by His resurrection?
- Do I believe that He is coming back?
- Am I ready for Him to come back?
- When I sing, “God and sinners reconciled,” am I confident that I have been reconciled to Him?
- Do I really know Him or just know about Him?
Please take some time to watch and consider this week’s teaching video, the last in our study of The Characters of Christmas. My prayer is that it clearly and succinctly presents the gospel in a way that you will both hear and receive it.
Please watch and consider sharing the video:
