To Know Jesus

“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
