I want to know Christ……. March 25, 2011

I want to know Christ.

I don’t want to know more about Christ. I don’t want to know more about his personal history and culture. Don’t need any new facts about Christ.

I simply want to know Him.

I want to get closer to him than ever before. I want to know/experience the intimacies that are only discovered through close, constant contact. I’m not talking about some etheral, overly spiritualized, feel-good epipany, either.

I want to be like Christ. I want to know him in order to be Christ-like.

Frankly, I’m not even a little bit close.

And, while I know that I’m positionally holy in Jesus (through his sacrificial death on a Roman cross), I’ve come to understand that daily personal holiness is something I must progressively pursue. See Hebrews 12:14, NKJV.

Christlikeness. That’s what I’m after. I’m not sure, but I’m pretty sure it’s also after me.

Yup. I want to know Christ.
