More About Jesus

"He who does not love does not know God, for God is love." (I John 4:8)

Wendell and I have been married for 54 years so I think I can say we “know” each other fairly well. I can tell by the inflection in his voice or the lack of an answer to a straightforward question what his answer is; or his body language as to his attitude toward me or someone else. Very seldom am I surprised at his actions, words and attitudes because I know him, and this could be said in the converse about his knowledge of me. I have said all this to say, “the more time you spend with someone the better you know them, for good or bad.”

If we have never been born into the family of God and experience His love we do not truly know Him. To know God is to love Him and to love Him is to love others by the power of the Holy Spirit that lives in us. By virtue of being born into His family we have His spiritual DNA – we begin to look like Him and act like Him. So if we are not loving others we have never been born again and do not “know” God.

“More About Jesus”
Eliza E. Hewitt

More about Jesus would I know, More of His grace to others show,
More of His saving fullness see, More of His love who died for me.

More about Jesus let me learn, More of His holy will discern.
Spirit of God, my teacher be, Showing the things of Christ to me.

More about Jesus - in His Word, Holding communion with my Lord,
Hearing His voice in every line, Making each faithful saying mine.

More about Jesus on His throne, Riches in glory all His own,
More of His kingdom’s sure increase, More of his coming – Prince of Peace.

Chorus
More, more about Jesus, More, more about Jesus;
More of his saving fullness see, More of His love who died for me!
