Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments (1 Jean 2:3).
Do you know Jesus? I’ve known Him for thirty-three years. I knew about Him for thirty-nine years, but in all my church going I never met Him until I reached thirty-nine, and then I realized what a waste the first part of my life had been. Now I know Him, and the more I know Him, the more I realize there is more to know. The Holy Spirit has turned me inside out, cleaning up the mess I made in those thirty-nine years, and yet there are still little parts of me that want to cling to the old ways. His new way is SO simple and yet so difficult to achieve. All He asks is that we love one another so much we become one. Because “to love” is an action and requires moving, sometimes, when I am truly walking the love walk, I can feel His legs walking right inside of mine. That’s not so unusual. The Bible says He lives in us. He loved the world so much He gave His life for it. What’s His commandment? To love one another as He loved us and to really do that we have to know Him and obey Him.
