"I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ
Jesus my Lord."
- Philippians 3:8
Spiritual knowledge of Christ will be a personal knowledge. I cannot know
Jesus through another person's acquaintance with him. No, I must know him
myself; I must know him on my own account. It will be an intelligent
knowledge-I must know him, not as the visionary dreams of him, but as the
Word reveals him. I must know his natures, divine and human. I must know
his offices-his attributes-his works-his shame-his glory. I must meditate
upon him until I "comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and
length, and depth, and height; and know the love of Christ, which passeth
knowledge." It will be an affectionate knowledge of him; indeed, if I know
him at all, I must love him. An ounce of heart knowledge is worth a ton of
head learning. Our knowledge of him will be a satisfying knowledge. When I
know my Saviour, my mind will be full to the brim-I shall feel that I have
that which my spirit panted after. "This is that bread whereof if a man
eat he shall never hunger." At the same time it will be an exciting
knowledge; the more I know of my Beloved, the more I shall want to know.
The higher I climb the loftier will be the summits which invite my eager
footsteps. I shall want the more as I get the more. Like the miser's
treasure, my gold will make me covet more.
To conclude; this knowledge of Christ Jesus will be a most happy one; in
fact, so elevating, that sometimes it will completely bear me up above all
trials, and doubts, and sorrows; and it will, while I enjoy it, make me
something more than "Man that is born of woman, who is of few days, and
full of trouble"; for it will fling about me the immortality of the ever
living Saviour, and gird me with the golden girdle of his eternal joy.
Come, my soul, sit at Jesus's feet and learn of him all this day.

Please put me down for daily 9AM prayer. Thank you
If your still doing this, you can sign me up for 9:00am. Course I'll pray in between those times too. i agree, its important that we do this. Personally, I believed Jerry Faldwell's statement about Bush being chosen by God. I didn't think it was kookish at all.
