What Do I Know?



There is a video that is supposed to be posted above. If it's not, I apologize. This song has been stuck in my head for the past couple of weeks. I just can't seem to shake it. It's not a bad thing because it's a fantastic song. I think that this song was put in my head because a lot of the times, God becomes so comfortable to us. He becomes natural. At least for me, He becomes almost too natural. Too comfortable that we do not realize the full impact of who He really is. Now don't get me wrong, there needs to be that strong relationship between us and Christ. But I think it gets to the point to where we forget or don't realize ALL of who Christ is. What do we really know of Holy? I know our culture and world has a definition of holy. But what does it really mean? What all does holiness entail? Christ is so multifaceted and so complex that even beginning to understand holiness and all of who He is can seem overwhelming. Overwhelmingly wonderful. God is the only One who is truly holy. So in my mind, we have no worldly comparison to the true Holy One. So my question again is..... what do we really know about holiness?? Can our minds even begin to comprehend what that really is? On this earth, can we really understand?

What really blows my mind is that the Lord makes Himself so available to us. He offers Himself to us fully; He is like a never ending book and we just have to open it and dig down deep inside. And what is so cool about that is that every time we think we have things figured out, there's another twist to the story. He is all things. And what's also really complex and cool? God has always been the same. He's always been the same person. He's the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He's always been this complex and overwhelmingly fantastic. He has always been Holy. He has always been well.....everything. It's really cool to think about.

And the coolest part of it all is that this amazingly fantastic person was willing to give their life. For us. And a cool bonus is that HE wants to get to know US. The Savior of the Universe wants to get to know us. Wow! Just. Wow. He wants us to know Him and He to know us. He doesn't want to just sit back and say, "Okay,I've done my part. Now you should know how awesome I am". Sure, He wants us to let others know of His glory and His grace. But He wants You to know Him in a totally personal and know how you take your coffee kind of way. I know that's probably not the best example but I just can't get over the magnificence of this. And He wants you to know Him.

So the thing is, do you think we would really know Jesus and His holiness if it were right in front of our faces? I would like to think so. But I don't really know. It was just something I was thinking. I hope that looking through and reading the Bible and through prayer that I would be able to know Him better and at the least catch glimpses of who He is and what holiness really is and what it means. I can only hope that He would reveal to me in time what it means.:)
