Text —Philippians 3:1-14
Message
To know Jesus is not the same as knowing His historical life, doctrines and His great works. We can say that we know someone because we recognize him, and are acquainted with his qualities. Knowing Jesus Christ includes all of these yet it goes beyond them. Thus, knowing the Saviour in biblical terms means to have an encounter with Him in which we experience His saving grace. You could only know Him as a refiner when He has cleansed you with His precious blood. The scriptures reveal Him as the Saviour, deliverer and yoke breaker. Knowing Him entails accepting Him and His terms and conditions of becoming His disciple.
He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords who reigns over Satan and has subdued all enemies and put them under the feet of believers. He is the Shepherd, and so you can be sure of His guidance as one of His sheep. He is the way to the Father and the door to the kingdom. Beloved, embrace the Messiah now and learn more about Him.
