To know Him

To learn about Christ, we must read and study the Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John. Professing christians need to know more about Christ than the local news, the stock market, the interest rate, the housing rates of interest, who's in the playoffs... It is a good thing to be acquainted with the doctrines and principles of Christianity, and better still to be acquainted with Christ Himself. It is well to be familiar with faith, grace, sanctification and justification, they pertain to the King. But it is better still to be familiar with the King, in who He is. If one is to be conformed to the image of Christ and become christlike, he must study Christ. The gospels were written four times over to acquaint us to and with Christ, who He is, His life, death, burial, resurrection and His soon coming return for His bride. We should study His ways, manners, feelings, wisdom, grace, patience. love and power. His character, His persona, His behavior.
Should not the sheep know the Shepherd?
should not the patient know the Physician?
should not the bride know the Bridegroom?
should not the sinner know the Saviour?

We must build our hopes, our souls on the rock of our salvation, that Rock is Jesus. To be fruitful, draw from the vine--Jesus. To whom should we solicit our prayers and concerns, none but our advocate-Jesus Christ.
Mary ain't answering nothing, all hail to Mary no longer is applicable, that was then, this is now. If you are trusting another with your soul salvation, I can only say to you, Buddist, Muslems, Agnostics, Athestic, Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, you better be sure!
To whom do we hope to spend eternity with other than our Savior, Christ Jesus? Should not we open the pages to find out what the requirements are and what are the things he said would hinder our entrance into the kingdom. Mark 4:37-40 talks of how Jesus calmed the raging storm, and seeing He did it then, He can surely calm the storms in your life just with His word, His word works. Even when the disciples started freaking out in great despair and anxiety, the fear of death, doom and destruction comes upon them, then they realize that He is with them, in the middle of the storm, they realize that Jesus was there all along, waiting for one of them to call out to Him. Perhaps these boys thought that because they walked daily with Jesus, they would avoid the storms of life, but it rains on the just and the unjust, time and chance happen to us all. Walking with Jesus does not guarantee a smooth journey, sunshine days, moonlit nights, an easy route, or freedom from cares, test, trials and trouble. The servants of God must go through storms, even anxiety, panic and fear, but in going through, know that He is there with you.
