I need to understand! I need to understand the consequences of, if I really believe Jesus is the Christ. Not just intellectually agreeing with that, but coming to understand what, “Jesus being the Christ “, means from God, the father’s perspective.

If I believe Jesus is really the Messiah (the Christ) then that has to change me, in fact, it has to begin to transform me. If he is the Christ, then he is the way, the only way.  He is the pearl of great price and I need to be exchanging all that I have to receive him and truly belong to Him.

Looking into, that is peering into, Christ is what I need to be doing with the first fruits of my time. Feeding on him should be my primary personal involvement and almost exclusive occupation. I should marinate my mind in the words of my Lord Jesus until I think his thoughts and until my intentions become his intentions.
