Does anyone "KNOW" Jesus of the Bible?

Question

I hear this all the time: Do YOU "KNOW" Jesus?
Have you?

I know my best friend, he is also my brother. I know when he's happy or sad, I can tell by his expression what he is thinking, I know what he likes and doesn't like, I don't have a book knowledge I have detailed knowledge of him...because I "KNOW" him.

Jesus said in Matt 7:15 depart from me ye that work Iniquity I (Jesus) never "KNEW" you.

Jer 33:3 say's: Call on "ME" and I will answer YOU and "TELL" you things that you do not know of.

If you "KNOW" Jesus tell me about him like I can tell you about detailed information about my brother...the one I "KNOW".

Jesus said he will be closer than a brother

DON'T tell me of the Biblical Jesus, I know every story, the childhood in Luke, the wedding, the ministry, the sermon on the mound...that's only book knowledge, like anyone you read about.

Tell me about what he's like...NOT bible, not historical facts...

IF you "KNOW" him tell me...like I "KNOW" my brother

BTW...I've asked this question several times..PLEASE read my other questions

NOT one person seems to "KNOW" who Jesus is...NOT ONE person has given "REAL" detail..NOT ONE


So I assume that NO one can KNOW Jesus other than biblical facts...don't believe me...watch what is written here.

NOTE: I don't want stuff like he walks with me & talks with me...GIVE me DETAILS of your relationship

If you don't know him...be honest and say: I "KNOW" of him from the bible etc...but I don't know him like you know your brother...BE HONEST100%

Answer 1

It seems as though most people don't seem to have much success doing two-way prayer communication with God ... and even if they did, they would probably be so taken by the event as to be unable to make much of it ... at least at first.

The last time I was actually able to clearly discern the words of Jesus, as he personally spoke them to me, was about 6 years ago.

At that time, he not only appeared to me and provided the answers I desperately needed, but he also had a few tough questions for me to answer, as well ... and my life has not been the same since.

The event was all encompassing ... a blend of intense emotions, physical manifestations, and extraordinary intellectual stimulation ... and while it was going on, time seemed to stand still.

When it was over, there was no doubt in my mind that Jesus and I had shared one single place in time and space together, for what turned out to be about 90 full minutes.

During that time, he and I were indeed "one" ... and even for that short period, I feel that I now truly know Jesus ... in the biblical sense ... far better than I know my own father, mother, brothers or sister ... and in a purely non sexual way, every bit as well as I "know" my own wife.

I you're really serious about this matter, and not just some wacko skeptic, send me an email with your specific questions, and I'll be happy to provide whatever answers I can.

Answer 2

I know Him well enough to know when He is close by me, like in the same room. I can feel Him near.

Answer 3

Well considering he's not a live person and it's all in your head I think you need a schmoke and a pancake.

Answer 4

Sorry, I don't see how I can know someone who has been dead almost 2000 years.

Answer 5

nope, but some claim they KNOW, because of delusions. it's pretty tough to know someone that MIGHT HAVE lived, then died, 2000 years ago...

jeff, you look kinda hot, bro!!

Answer 6

"You know so much and question so little."

Answer 7

My best Friend is Jesus. He is very gentle and kind, and has a sweetness that makes you feel special, He makes you feel it's just you & Him, like you are His only child. He does this to all His friends. He has a great sense of humor Whenever I start taking myself a little too serious, He'll say something that makes me laugh at myself!. He has more patience than any one I know, and puts up with me, no matter how many times I make the same mistake, He never puts me down or holds it against me, He always tells me not to worry, everythings still ok, and that He's not going to let anything bad happen.

He tells me how He remembers and sees all the things I do,and that He loves me. He once told me that His Love is not based on what I "do", but "who I am", and He tells me to forget about my worries , and just trust Him. If I get worried about something, before I even say anything, He tells me He's already taken care of it.

Sometimes things will happen that I never even asked Him for, things that I only thought about and wished would happen, just a passing thought.then that night or the next day or so, it happens. He gives me the desires of my heart without even asking. Not material things,He meets all of those needs already, Just little things that I might want that don't mean anything to anyone else, but mean alot to me.. It's like a gift and His way of saying "thanks"

"He who delights himself in Me shall receive the desires of his heart"

If I get upset and need to talk, He just listens, He doesn't point out my faults or take sides, He's not like any other in the world. And no matter how many times I screw up, He still treats me the same as if He didn't even notice because He's more concerned about me and how I'm doing, than what I've done. It' like He doesn't even remember or seem to notice faults.

. He doesn't keep a list or a record of what you do wrong like people in the world do. Even when the wrong is against Himself, you would never even know it. He's so patient and so strong, nothing moves Him. And I know I've wronged Him many times and hurt Him deeply by the way I acted. But He never holds it against me, He treats everybody the same, like nothing ever happened.

. When I ask Him something and turn to Him for advice, He tells me the truth. He doesn't just tell me want I want to hear. And if anyone ever needs anything, alls you have to do is ask Him, and He would do if for you. Even lay down His own life for those He loves, infact, that's just what He did. He truly IS closer than a brother.

I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for Jesus, I wouldn't have anything if it wasn't for Jesus. All that I do and all that I am is ONLY because I know Jesus. I shutter to think where I'd be or what kind of a person I'd be right now if it hadn't been for Jesus, He is so Awesome and has done so much for me and everyone I know, I owe Him my life.

I could write books on my relationship with Jesus and all He's done and still no words would explain how being with Him, and knowing Him makes me feel. "Love" isn't a great enough word. Just being in His Presence changes you. Whatever problem I have had or pain I felt or even anger I had towards others when I go to Him, it simply vanishes because I am in awe of Him and so overwhelmed by all the Love He has for everyone and the Peace and Gentleness in His Spirit about Him is so great and strong, there is nothing in the world like it or that I could even compare it to, to explain it.

His very Presence actually lifts all the weight of your troubles and cares of this world, off of your shoulders, and heals wounds, When He's around you, all your worries and all your fears disappear. There's just so much Joy and Peace and Love that comes from being with Him that you forget all your troubles. He makes me so happy and teaches me so many awesome things, At times I wanted to shout it from a mountain top!!

I've been told many times, even by strangers, after spending time in His Presence, that they could see light emanating from my face. I always have such an overflowing joy inside after talking to Him and spending time with Him that I want everyone to feel it. There is no high, like the Most High God!

All of His Promises are true, everything written in His Word is true. He gives such a Peace just like the Scriptures say, "it is beyond understanding". Nothing like the world gives! He has told me things that were in the Bible before I even read it myself! When I ran across the same words in the Bible that He told me, they nearly jumped off the page at me. He has protected me many, many times. He tells me things that will happen that I couldn't possibly have known and then they happen exactly like He said they would.

I just talk to Him like I do anyone else, and He shows me things and teaches me about anything I want to know. No matter what it is, I know I can always bring it to Him and He will help me. No matter hard something seems He has a way of turning it around and make it so simple that I can't believe I didn't see it before. Just like the scripture say:

"My sheep know My voice". saying, "This is the way, walk in it". and "Behold, I stand at the door and knock, whoever hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and sup with him and he with Me".

One time I was feeling kind of blue and He said to me,"Child, why do you look at your feet? Lift up your head and put your eyes on Me, and I will move the rocks at your feet, If you look at your feet, how can you see where you are going? Lift up your head and fix your eyes upon Me, then you will see the path I have prepared for you. I will clear the path at your feet."

And many other things too numerous to list here that Jesus has told me and done for me. He is very Merciful and Kind, but that doesn't mean that anything you do will always be ok, He also had gotten angry with me a few times.

One time, I was supposed to go to a certain person place and do something for someone and then leave. I sat down and talked to this person until I fell asleep. The Lord's called my name so firm and so strong, I sat straight up out of a sound sleep, and said yes Lord!, He said, "did I not tell you to do quickly what you had to do and leave? Get up from there and go!!" That was several years ago but I still remember to this day, the firmness in His voice.

Another time, I was telling Him about my problems about myself, over & over the same thing for months because I feared how my parents thought of me ( I was neglected by my mother & sexually abused by my father). For months I poured my heart out to Him and He justed listened and kept encouraging me to care about myself.

After much patience and so many months of this, one day I was whining about myself like I usually did, and out of the blue, He interrupted me and said, "Stop looking at yourself through your parents eyes! and start looking at yourself through the eyes that I gave you!!!" I had never heard such firmness in His voice before and everything in me KNEW He was serious. And I want more than anything else to please Him, so I stopped and started doing what He said. For days afterwards, I couldn't get those words and the way He said it, out of my head.

And yet another time, I was praying for someone who had hurt me very deeply. I was so crushed, that I just sat crying and I prayed until I had no strength left to pray, the joy was empty and I felt myself sinking deeper. I had been through so much already, that I was at the end of myself. I had no where to put anything else. I couldn't think of another word to say and felt so broken and so lost, I just sat there staring. Then I heard a sound in the Lord's voice I never heard before. He got angry, and said" NO ONE puts My childrens light out! I WILL NOT have ANYONE put out my childrens' light!" And then I felt His Spirit leave.

That very same day, when I returned to the same person who hurt me, the same angry person I had seen that morning, who was so full of hate, stretched out his hand and asked me to pray with him and I led him to the Lord. Jesus came into this person's heart and changed him. All of the hatred he had was gone! and he has been full of nothing but love and kindness ever since. That person is now my husband.

So many things I could tell you, but there isn't enough room to write it. He talks to me throughout the day and sometimes wakes me up at night to tell me things. If you seek Him with all your heart & soul, you will see that what I have said is true. If you are sincere and call out His Name, He will hear you. But you have to humble yourself to Him and invite Him into your heart & life first,to know Him yourself.

He is very much a Gentleman at heart and will not impose Himself on anybody. So much I could tell you, so little space. So much I wish I could show you, that He has shown to me. But all I can do is tell you and pray that the eyes and ears of your heart will be opened so that you may know Him for yourself.

Just like the Gentleman that He is, He stands at the door of everyone's heart and knocks. But each person themself has to open the door and invite Him in. Then the door will be open when you pray, but without Jesus, who is the Mediator between us and God, since "sin separates us from God", unless we repent, that door is closed. No one comes to the Father except through the Son.

"THEN', when you "Call upon Him, He will answer you and "tell" you things that you do not know of"

"I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" John 14:6†
