Verse of the Day: Philippians 3:10         

I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death         

Recognizing the difference between an acquaintance and a genuine connection is important. Having knowledge about someone should not be mistaken for truly knowing them, just as observing their actions does not necessarily reveal their authentic self. It is the same with Jesus, one may have been aware of Him throughout their life, yet it is only through wholehearted seeking Him that they can develop a profound, personal relationship with Him as their Savior. This meaningful bond flourishes through dedicated time spent with Him. The more one invests in this relationship, the more they reflect His character. While knowledge of the Bible is valuable, delving deeper into a relationship with its author is equally important.
