“That I may know him”
What a purpose!
Not knowing about
But knowing Jesus.
Words of the apostle Paul
His purpose and delight
To know the blessed Lord
The obstructions despite.
Some walked with him
But didn’t really know
Though wherever he went
They too would go.
They slept together
And together broke bread,
They saw his miracles
Even saw thousands fed.
Confessed to a revelation
That he was the Christ
But this revelation
Clearly had not sufficed.
Then on a predestined day
He took three on a mount,
In Mark chapter
9
We can read that account.
Its entirety we’ll not detail
In the interest
of time
But take your Bible or cell
And read verses
2 to 9.
There they saw Moses
Of Mount Pisgah’s fame
And there they saw Elijah
Who on Mount Carmel reigned.
But they also saw Christ
Whose glory they glimpsed
Having seen nothing like it
Before or even since.
May we glimpse Christ’s glory
Today as we sing
And also from the Word
In whatever the Spirit brings.
