To Know Him

Handbook 1: Article 3 - Consider Jesus

"I have given up everything else -- I have found it to be the only way to really know Christ and to experience the mighty power that brought Him back to life again, and to find out what it means to suffer and die with Him."

Philippians 3:10

Christ can never be known and loved without a sense of awe and fear accompanying the knowledge. He is the fairest among ten thousand, but He is also the Lord high and mighty. He is a friend of sinners, but He is also the terror of devils. He is meek and lowly in heart, but He is also Lord and Christ who will surely come to be the judge of all men. No one who knows Him intimately can ever be flippant in His presence.

The love of Christ both wounds and heals, it fascinates and frightens, it kills and makes alive, it draws and repulses, it sobers and enraptures. There can be nothing more terrible or more wonderful than to be stricken with love for Christ so deeply that the whole being goes out in a pained adoration of His person, an adoration that disturbs and disconcerts while it purges and satisfies and relaxes the deep inner heart.

A.W. Tozer

Jesus came to show us the Father. His personality reflected the Father's personality. "We know how God would act if He were in our place -- He has been in our place. When Jesus was on earth, He was a man acting like God." (A.W. Tozer) Jesus said, "He who has seen Me, has seen the Father. Why then do you say, show us the Father?"
