Knowing Jesus Christ Personally

Your personal relationship with Christ is the most pressing issue in the universe. Do you know Him personally? Have you ever committed your past to Him and received the forgiveness He offers to those who come to Him humbly and confess their sinful condition?
You can begin a relationship, a permanent friendship, with Jesus, right where you are. The main question is, are you ready to make Him the Lord (the Boss, el Patron) of your life? Often, people want Jesus to guarantee that they won't go to hell (you know, they want fire insurance), but they don't want to live in a permanent place of friendship with Him. Some may say that they aren't going to bow down to anybody, but they do. They may worship themselves or they may worship money and material things. There may be someone who you have pictured or as the psychiatrists say, imprinted, as an example of success, but I have never found anyone who compares with Jesus of Nazareth, who is also called the Christ. If you don't know Him personally, I want to invite you to read the stories of His life in the Bible. Start in Mark and Luke of the New Testament. One more thing - ask God to reveal Him to you - then relax and read.
I've found out that He will come to your house, your room, or your cell. You are not too good for Him and you also aren't too bad for Him. You will find that as you read His Word, He will walk into your life and be your best friend. He will forgive your past, heal your present and give you hope for your future. Give it a try. Test it for yourself. Any questions? Hit the COMMENTS button. God bless!

  2. Hello Phil
    I always enjoy reading and listening to your comments. This is great food for thought. I hope it reaches those who really need to hear about Jesus.

    Enjoyed your Bible Study class today. It was so interesting and the guest speaker did great. I also enjoyed visiting with Cara.
    Have a blessed day.
