You can know someone, even think you know them well, but there are times when something comes up and you discover you really didn’t know them like you thought you did.
You really know someone when you are intimate with them, when you know all of their ins and outs, their deepest needs and secrets.
Some people know about Jesus, but don’t care. They think He has no control or interest in their lives. They want nothing to do with Him. They want to live life in their own way.
Others know Him from a religious standpoint only. They know all the Bible stories, they can even quote Scripture, but they only know about Him. They don’t have a relationship with Him. Unfortunately, those are the ones to whom Jesus will say the words “I never knew you, depart from Me…” Matt 7:23.
There are also those who are believers, but are happy with only having a nominal relationship....
