Knowing Jesus, and Becoming the Extended Hand of God

Richard Forbes
Christian, Daily Devotional, Knowing Christ

Are we waiting expectantly on the promised return of Jesus Christ? Do we rise every morning, and go to church throughout the week, in anticipation of His arrival? If so, what will we say to Him when He presents Himself? Will we even know for certain that it is Him? We like to believe that we will easily recognize Him, but will we? If He Doesn’t immediately lift us to join Him in the sky, or if we aren’t privy to some miraculous sign... will we know Him? Will we believe this man is Jesus? If an everyday carpenter dressed in work clothes introduced Himself... would you believe He was Jesus... or just think that he was disturbed?

Knowing the Fullness of God beyond the Classroom of Theology

Richard Forbes
Christian, Daily Devotional, Knowing God Intimately

What do we know about Jesus, God, and our faith? Have we read the Bible cover to cover, and memorized key scriptures? Have we taught Sunday school lessons, or preached God’s Word and the Gospel of Jesus Christ from the pulpit? Perhaps we have studied theology, spoken on the subject of Church history, or become conversant in all the councils and creeds... but does our intellectual pursuit of God bring us an inch closer to knowing Him? My real question this morning is this... “Do we know God, or do we simply know of Him?”

Knowing the Will of God

Richard Forbes
Christian, Daily Devotion, Seeking God’s Will

Does God’s will for you seem like a total mystery to you that can’t be resolved, or understood? Do you pray for Him to reveal it to you, but hear only silence? Well, the will of God for you is not meant to remain a mystery, it is as certain as the blood of Christ, as complete as our forgiveness from sin, and we have no part in determining it... It is totally in support of God’s purpose and is made known to us through His grace which flows through Jesus Christ; facilitated by the Holy Spirit.
