Some Thoughts

Brothers and sisters, we do not know Christ as we should. We know some Bible, we know some theology, we know some words, but we have not even begun to catch a glimpse of Christ himself. How could we know him and not have our thoughts consumed by him? How could we know him and not have our words saturated with him? How could we know him and not have our works transformed by him? No, we do not know him. But one gaze at his glory, and we would never be the same. We would fall as dead at his feet and only by his right hand would we be able to rise up again. As it is, we are barely awake enough to be bored with him. We see the words about him in the pages of scripture, we mouth them in repetition, but deep down, they are meaningless to us. If we knew him, our senses would be overwhelmed. But we do not know him. Our eyes are dark, our ears weak, our hearts dull. Be honest, we don’t really even believe in him. God help us.
