John 20:28
And Thomas answered and
said to him,
“My LORD and my God!”
The one great
characteristic of being born from above is that I know who Jesus is. It is a
discernment; something has happened on the inside; the surgery of events has
opened my eyes. Is Jesus Christ a revelation to me, or is He simply a
historical character? How are we to get the revelation of who Jesus is? Very
simply. Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would glorify Him, and we can receive
the Holy Spirit by asking (Luke 11:13, which says, “If you then, being evil,
know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly
Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”). The secret of the
Christian is that he knows the absolute deity of Jesus Christ. The essence of
Christianity is not a creed or a doctrine, but an illumination that emancipates
us. It is always a surprise, never an intellectual concept.
