Chambers makes this statement and asks these questions this morning: "The one great challenge to us is, do I know my risen Lord? Do I know the power of His indwelling Spirit? Am I wise enough in God's sight, but foolish enough according to the wisdom of the world, to trust in what Jesus Christ has said?"
It is not enough to believe, I have to know. Not just know about Jesus, but know Him, and what does that look like?
It is a haunting question, one that puts into question all that I believe and all that my Christian service purports to represent. It relates to that question from the Truth Project; "Do you really believe that what you believe is really true?"
I have this book on my computer by Billy Graham's son in law, Tullian Tchividjian, with the title Do I Know God, and have read it a couple of times already. Each time I read and try to answer the question truthfully, I come up with a big question mark. Do I really know Him?
I go back to Chambers questions and confess that I need to spend a lot of time in truly seeking the answers. The Bible says that I should seek and I will find.
"The one great challenge to us is, do I know my risen Lord? Do I know the power of His indwelling Spirit? Am I wise enough in God's sight, but foolish enough according to the wisdom of the world, to trust in what Jesus Christ has said?"
Today I seek....honestly seek..
