Know Jesus Better


As we know Jesus better, his divine power gives us everything we need for living a godly life.

2 Peter 1:3a (NLT)


Oh, to know Christ! Oh to really know Him … to know Him better! Growing in Christ is a process and Peter knew only too well how slow that process can go. He spent three years walking with Jesus and it wasn’t until near the end that Jesus remarked, “Finally, you believe!” To really know Jesus we must believe in Him, we must trust Him. When we reach this point we understand the “more” of the life He gives us.

It’s what Peter eventually longed for in his fellow believers, “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter3:18).

This is the point when worries melt away and a heart-ruling peace settles in. This is when we fully appreciate the divine power settling over us, the provision that takes care of our every need.

This is knowing Christ. This is life … abundant and … free!


Lord, fill our hearts that we may know You and walk in Your Spirit. Amen.
