That I may know Him.<\/em> \u201cWho is the most important person you know?\u201d a man asked his friend. \u201cI am,\u201d came the reply. Perhaps there are better answers. Some would name a president or prime minister, a billionaire or movie star. But none of those answers are the best. The apostle Paul said, in essence, \u201cI want to know Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n The Amplified Bible Classic Edition renders that phrase like this: \u201c[For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly].\u201d<\/p>\n As Christians, we\u2019re to give ourselves with intensity to knowing Christ Jesus. We\u2019re to be passionate in doing so\u2014not just in knowing about Him but in knowing Him personally and progressively, more deeply and intimately. Like every other relationship, we draw closer to Him through time spent in conversation. That takes prayer (when we speak with Him) and Bible study (when He speaks to us). That\u2019s why we should open our Bibles every day and pray on a regular basis.<\/p>\n Make sure you don\u2019t miss your regular meetings with the Lord!<\/p>\n It is in getting to know my Bible that I get to know Jesus.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" That I may know Him.
