Do You Really Know Jesus?

Read Luke 24: 13 - 31. Two of the disciples were on the road to Emmaus, when Jesus came up and walked beside them, but they didn't recognize Him. They saw Him as a stranger. They'd been following Him, so why didn't they recognize Him? Perhaps it was because they thought He was dead. They hadn't really yet understood what he'd been trying to teach them, but they will.

It is possible for us to recognize what Jesus did on the cross, accept Him as our Savior, and still not really know Him. We can know the truth about Jesus, and still not know Him personally. It is like when a student thoroughly researches someone for an assignment. The student may know a lot about the person, but he or she hasn't met them on a personal level. I'm afraid too many have approached Jesus in this same way. They've been saved, studied about Him, but have never claimed Him as their friend. Remember the old song, "What a Friend We have in Jesus." It should be true.

Jesus wants a personal relationship with you. If you pray for Him to show you how, He will.  You'll be a much stronger Christian and a stronger witness when this happens.There is no greater peace and joy!
