Knowledge or Intimacy
“You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me. “
Psalm 139:1
If our relationships are to mean anything they need to move past just knowing information about one another to building a true connection with one another. You need a level of intimacy with the people who are closest to you. You need intimacy in your relationship with your spouse. You need intimacy with your children. You need intimacy with your parents. In short, anyone with whom you want a meaningful relationship then you need to take that relationship to a deeper level.
If you have a friend but all you ever know about them are some basic facts like where they live, how old they are and those kinds of things then you really can’t call them a friend. If you have a true friend then each of you will have to invest in one another through really getting to know each other.
The same is true of our relationship with Jesus. We must take our relationship with Jesus to a deeper level. We shouldn’t just know things about Jesus we should grow to truly know Jesus. What I mean by that will become more evident as this message progresses.
