ABIDE - Knowing Jesus begins with professing our faith in Him as the one who died on the cross to pay the penalty for sin and then miraculously rose from the dead proving to be the Son of God and proving that everything He said is true. Knowing Jesus begins with faith in Him. But what comes after we profess our faith in Him? There are two ways to know Jesus. The Bible tells us a lot about Jesus, but if we stop short with just knowing Him theologically, we limit Jesus to being a character in a book, and we miss experiencing Him personally. We need both the doctrinal Jesus and the personal Jesus. Knowing Him theologically and knowing Him personally. Jesus said, “Abide in Me.” That implies relationship. He said, “Abide in My love.” That implies intimacy. He also said, “Follow Me.” That implies walking with Him and experiencing a personal relationship with Him. And that’s exactly what Jesus has invited us to experience – an intimate, personal, day-by-day, and moment-by-moment relationship with Him. Which means abiding in Him, knowing Him, loving Him, following Him, praying to Him, becoming more like Him, and growing in Him in every way. “Abide in Me.” May we truly experience the joy of knowing Jesus personally and intimately.
