“Lean of Me…”~ Matt. 11:29
“That I may know Him…”~ Col. 3:10
Most certainly a mature Christian should be familiar with all the Bible and its characters, but most particularly with the person of Jesus Christ. If a person doesn’t know Him, they don’t know anything of real value!
“No mortal with Him can compare
Among the sons of men,
Fairer is He than all the fair
That fill the heavenly train.
(S. Sennett)
I am not addressing this article to the pseudo—spiritual elite who are part of the fourfold carnal factions in some churches who say, “I am of Christ” (1Cor. 1:12); but to the humble followers of this Man, Christ Jesus.
Nor am I referring to His works, as important as they may be. I am speaking of His Person. You can know all about a man’s work without ever knowing the man. You can know an artist's paintings without ever knowing the artist.
No time spent getting to know this Man better will ever be wasted. The humble scrub woman who knows Him, knows more about life and people than an Einstein could’ve ever hoped to have known.
