I understand how difficult it is for those who don't know Jesus to understand why others like myself so deeply love Jesus, as they project the mysterious Jesus as a friend of our imagination, but I can tell you from personal experience, it's all about encountering God. Jesus is alive and real to be known, and I personally know Him. I've personally encountered Him, and those who encounter Him are forever changed. I'm forever changed.
I know that it sounds mystical and perhaps psychotic, but I can assure you, He is tangible and transformational. He's a Friend that's so close - a God that's so intimate and loving - a Creator so amazing and holy - a King so kind and generous. He's marvelous and unlike every created thing in the entire universe.
He's the center of it all, as all things and all people revolve only around Him. The universe is His story, and I know Him. How great and majestic He is! He is my Lord. He is my Savior. He is my only hope and my perfect desire.
He is truly amazing, and since I now know such Beauty, it is my earnest desire that you would know this man of riches, as well. He's inviting you to know Him. You can encounter Him. In Jesus alone, you can personally know God. This is the Jesus I know.
