KNOWING CHRIST Part 2


 A clear study of Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, and Colossians will show you that Jesus comes into the heart as your life.  He does not come into your life to help you out or to help you be as you’ve always been. 

 So Paul is speaking and then he asks in Romans 11:33b, “. . . how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!” And then he asks in verses 34 and 35, “for who hath known the mind of the Lord?  Or who hath become His counselor? Or who hath first given to Him and it shall be repaid to him?”  It is amazing what Jesus does. He lays hold or apprehends us and for the rest of our lives, we seek to apprehend the Person Who has apprehended us. What an amazing journey that is! What an exciting life! The Ancient of Days, the One who holds time in His hands, has laid hold of you, and so then that gives you abilities that are outside of time.  It gives you a connection with the infinite God, and you have to understand what Jesus Christ then brings to you.

 The Bible says in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him would not perish, but have everlasting life.”  We always stop there, but I love the next verse.  It says in verse 17, “For God did not send His Son into the World to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”  And I want you to understand that God has brought something wonderful to you. He has brought eternity to you, but He has brought Someone greater than eternity to you. It is an amazing reality that God has done this for you. You are now the house, the container, of what cannot be contained!
