Jesus and Scripture Mar 29 2008
"...if you knew me, you would know My Father also." - John 8:19
Who is history's most influential person?
I believe it's Jesus Christ. Every time we write the date, it's a testimony to Him. But it's important to remember that we are directly dependent on Scripture to give us the full view of Jesus. To know Jesus we need to know Scripture. Jesus said, "Do not think I came to abolish the law or the prophets. I did not come to abolish but to fulfill." All scripture, from Moses and the Old Testament prophets, to the gospels and the writings of Paul and John's Revelation, reveals Jesus to us.
If we ignore Scripture, we will not know Jesus. When we choose what we like and ignore what we don't, we get a distorted view of Jesus. We get a man-made, politically correct Jesus who is not Jesus at all. Scripture reveals the true Jesus. Jesus reveals God to us. Get to know Jesus and you get to know God.

Yes, report it NevermindI find when I have not read the Word for a long while (not good, I know) I do not know Jesus as well. When I get back in the Word my eyes well up because I see how awesome God is and I love Him so much and I can't stop getting to know Jesus!!

Yes, report it NevermindThis devotion is so true! The most important person one can ever know is Jesus. He is such a powerful influence in the lives of individuals because He gives new ways of seeing and experiencing the world. Through His eyes we have compassion and give the benefit of the doubt. He helps us to see the image of God in each person we meet even though some well try to hide it. He makes us want to pray since He gave prayer as an example. If you are a believer consider all the wonderful difference He has made in your life. If you are not a believer consider what you are missing. He is known through Scripture. Seek and ye shall find.
