Which Jesus do you know
Do you know God's Son by revelation or do you know the historical Son of God. Paul said we are to know no man after the flesh, not even Jesus, 2 Cor. 5:16.
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
Do you know about the Jesus that walked and talked in this world two thousand years ago, or do you know the Jesus that was placed in every born again believer the moment they believed.
To know Jesus of Nazareth is to know the historical Son of God. As you read Paul carefully you see he never talks about the miracles Jesus performed, the way He handles the people or any of the many wonderful things Jesus did. He only talks about the death, burial, and resurrection.
There is a reason for Paul never to mention the historical Son. That is not the Jesus you need to know. The gospel is the need for the believer to know the Jesus that is in them. The Christ that became the new life and nature in the born again.
It was God's intention before the creation of the world that the creature live by one life, that life was in His Son, Ephesians 1:4,
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Our gospel does not start with the fall of Adam and Eve, our gospel does not even start at the cross, the gospel started before anything was created. Before sin, before sickness, and even before Satan. We were chosen to be in Christ before the foundation of the world. Paul told the Ephesians church, Ephesians 4:20,
20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
It is this Christ that the every believer must come to know. This is the only Jesus you can know by revelation. What the Father has done is past finding out on your own. It is imperative the Christ in you be revealed to you in the Father's Time, Gal. 4:1-2,
Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
The keystone wording "until the time appointed of the Father".
Tudors and governors (circumstances and situations) in the world system to bring about a mature son. The world is a schoolhouse the Father uses to train His children. Have you noticed when the converging powers of the world begin to play a roll in a life you can't pray them away, there is no rebuking devils, no amount of fasting can bring deliverence.
The Father's training can be severe at times but Paul called it a "light affliction" compared to the eternal weight of glory, 2 Cor. 4:17,
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
