Seeking to Know Jesus More
Paul’s transformation
on the road to Damascus marked the beginning of a lifelong pursuit of knowing
Jesus. In Acts 9, after regaining his sight, Paul immediately began seeking to
understand who Jesus truly was. He spent time with believers, learning, praying,
and growing in his relationship with Jesus.
Later in life, Paul
wrote in Philippians 3:7–14 about counting everything as loss compared to
knowing Jesus. For him, spiritual growth was not about one powerful encounter,
but about daily walking with the Lord.
As Christians, we
sometimes fall into the trap of thinking we “know enough” about God once we’ve
been in church for years. But Jesus invites us to a living, ongoing
relationship with Him—one where we never stop learning. The infinite nature of
God means there will always be more of Him to discover.
Pursuing Christ daily
keeps our hearts alive and prevents spiritual stagnation. Knowing Jesus is not
just about head knowledge, but heart transformation. The more we know Him, the
more we can love Him, trust Him, and reflect His character in our lives.
Scripture:
Philippians 3:10 - That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;
Application:
Set aside intentional time today for prayer and Scripture reading, focusing specifically on knowing Jesus better rather than asking Him for things.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, I want to know You more deeply. Help me not to be content with surface-level faith, but to pursue You with my whole heart. Reveal more of Yourself to me through Your Word and Spirit.
