What Does it Mean to Know Jesus?

Does it mean anything to know Jesus? Does it really have anything to do with our life? Does it really benefit us anyway? These are the question that might be asked by our so called 21st century people. Many have come to the conclusion that religion and its practices have no meaning to life. To some extent they are right because when it is talked at the level of practices of norms and rules of a religion.

But talking about a religion is one thing but talking about Jesus is another thing. When I am talking about knowing Jesus, I am not basically putting it into a bracket of religious practices; I am talking about knowing Jesus Personally, knowing Him intimately and experiencing His genuine goodness through our connection with him in spirit.

Knowing Jesus does mean so much to life... for it will give us the answer to who we are and why we are here. Knowing Jesus will help us to understand that we have a Creator and we are not here accidentally or by some misfortune.

Knowing Jesus will tell us that we have a purpose of our existence and that there is something beyond this struggles and trials of life.

Knowing Jesus will revive us with the power of hope that there is a life called eternal life which is beyond this temporary life on this planted.

Knowing Jesus will help us realize that we have a friend who knows our trials and troubles and can sympathize with us in our problems and sufferings.

Knowing Jesus will give us an understanding of our limitation and the power of that Omnipresent and Omnipotent whose power is beyond limitation.

Knowing Jesus will help us to find a correct meaning of religion, it will help us to realize that religion is not a particular practice of hard and fast rules and regulations, it is about caring and nursing the poor, needy, orphans, and aged ones and to love one another sacrificing own benefit.

Knowing Jesus will open our eyes to the understanding of the end of the world and the future hope of this planet.

Therefore knowing Jesus basically means everything! Try it then…
