A Reflection On Knowing God

When I need to reflect on God, my Treasure

Jesus told His disciples that they were blessed beyond measure by knowing Him. They were in a privileged place. Prophets and kings throughout history would have sacrificed anything to see Him and to hear His words (Luke 10:24). We can make the same observation. We have access to the Spirit of God, who has come to reside in our hearts through our faith in Jesus. The Treasure the world has always hungered for is ours—in intricate, intimate detail.

Are we casual about our knowledge of Jesus and His Word? Have we been so saturated with the message of the gospel that we take it for granted? Are we really aware that taking up God’s Word to read it is to taste the riches that finite minds have sought for all history? Like farm animals with access to life’s priceless pearls, we have the revelation of the all-wise God on our bookshelves and His Spirit in our hearts. Our eyes have been blessed.

Remember your Treasure. Give Him thanks today.

He turned to the disciples and said, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you have seen.”

Luke 10:23
