I want to know Jesus.
For all my life, I’ve known about Jesus. Baptized as a baby, my parents took me to church every Sunday. I grew up knowing about Jesus from church, Sunday School, and Christian school. This foundational teaching is a blessing beyond measure.
Yet knowing about Jesus is so different from knowing Jesus.
I have read Bible stories.
I’ve memorized Scripture verses.
Yet do I have a personal, deep relationship with Jesus?
I remember when I first met my husband. We spent hours on the phone getting to know one another. (Remember, this was pre-email and we lived several states apart.) More than once, we spent all night on the phone, and this was when long-distance phone calls were expensive. I remember hearing my dad get up early for work, and I knew I was in big trouble because I was still on the phone from the night before!
I was willing to suffer the consequences of those phone all-nighters – falling asleep in class the next day, paying the huge phone bill, and getting in trouble with my parents, all because I craved getting to know this important new man in my life.
I wanted to know all the facts about my new boyfriend – what’s his favorite color? What toppings does he eat on his pizza? But even more, I wanted to know him. What are his hopes and dreams for the future? What are his deepest convictions?
In the same way, I desire that deep relationship with my Savior and Lord, Jesus.
Getting to Know Jesus
I invite you to join me on a journey into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
Together on this website, we will read the book Getting to Know Jesus: Using the Six Core Teachings of the Bible to Grow in a Deeper Relationship with Jesus, by Paul Schult.
In this study, we will discover:
- How can I get to know Jesus better?
- How can I possibly understand all that the Bible teaches and reveals?
- What is the most important teaching in the Bible for me to know?
