Know the Savior

Do you know the Savior? Do you know who He is? Or do you just know about Him? Have you only heard of Him? Or have you gotten to know Him? Do you wonder what the difference is? Are you willing to pursue Him? Will you decide to truly know who He is? Will you allow Him to  change you?

Many people have an answer when asked who God is. Unfortunately, their answers can vary greatly. Their answers may vary even more when asked who Jesus is. Why? Far too many have not gotten to know Him. They may have heard some of the stories but don’t really know Him.

Jesus had given a man sight who had been born blind. The man had been questioned thoroughly about who gave him sight. He didn’t know who Jesus was, though he knew Jesus’ name. When Jesus encountered him later, He asked him if he believed in the Son of Man. The man asked who He was. When Jesus revealed that He was the Son of Man, the man worshiped Him.

When we get to know who Jesus really is, we will also worship Him. We must go beyond just hearing stories by asking what the story tells us. We must read and understand Jesus’ teachings. We must wrap our brains around Jesus’ claim, and our claim, that He is the Son of Man, the Son of God. For just as the Jewish leaders equated that as being the same as being God, we must also make that equation. Jesus revealed God to us in human form. At what point will we truly believe Him and truly get to know Him? When we do, we will fall down and worship Him.

I pray we all seek to get to know Jesus. I pray we understand that He is the Son of God. I pray each one of us will truly believe Jesus and get to know Him, then fall to our knees to worship Him. Get to know Jesus. Know that Jesus is the Son of God. Believe Jesus. Worship Jesus.

John 9:35-36 Jesus heard that they had driven him out, and when he found him he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” He answered, “And who is he, sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him.”
