Jesus Do You Know Him
 
In Philippians 3:8, the Apostle Paul writes “I consider everything a loss to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.”
 
Paul was a John 15:4 man, to him remaining in Christ and Christ remaining in him was all that he valued.  I love the way Oswald Chambers describes this type of Christian.
“Once we get intimate with Jesus, we are never lonely and we never lack for understanding or compassion.  We can continually pour out our hearts to him without being perceived as overly emotional or pitiful.  The Christian who is truly intimate with Jesus, will never draw attention to himself but will only show the evidence of a life where Jesus is completely in control.”  This is the outcome of allowing Jesus to satisfy every need of our Life to its depths.  The picture resulting from such a life, is that of the strong, calm, and balanced relationship that our Lord gives to those who are intimate with Him.
 
Read: Genesis 6:22-25
 
Are you truly in the vine?  Do you know Jesus?

Pray that as God prepares your heart to join Christ on mission and He will reveal something new and intimate about himself.
