Known Through Christ

Know who you are in God’s eyes. Look to Jesus and see.

December’s Awakening, Day 29

It is not Jesus as historically known, but Jesus as spiritually risen within men, who is significant for our time and can help it. Not the historical Jesus, but the spirit which goes forth from Him and in the spirits of men strives for new influence and rule, is that which overcomes the world.

 —Albert Schweitzer

The simple record of three short years of active life has done more to regenerate and to soften mankind, than all the disquisitions of philosophers and than all the exhortations of moralists.

 —W. E. H. Lecky

Not only do we not know God except through Jesus Christ; We do not even know ourselves except through Jesus Christ.

 —Blaise Pascal

            Yes, the miracle working of God, materialized by Christ in the flesh, and the continued work of the Holy Spirit in the hearts and minds of all humanity is a wonder to behold. It is God’s Spirit continually prompting us through our conscience, permeating our minds and convicting our hearts of the sin in our lives, and leading us to a better way through His holiness. The Spirit of the Lord is alive and well and impacting all of humanity in continually powerful and miraculous ways. There is nothing more significant than the transformations from sinners into saints. That is the infinite power of God being manifest here on earth.

            You were created to be perfect and sinless like the Man, Jesus. He is your example. He is your mentor. He is who you are to strive to be. To see and know who you are in God’s eyes, just look to Jesus and see.
