Know the Lord

Today I read Jeremiah 30:13-32:11 and Philemon 1:10-Hebrews 1:5. My favorite verses are:

Jeremiah 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Hebrews 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.

What a glorious picture! Everyone great and small will know the Lord; all our sins will have been forgiven and forgotten! The Son of God—the express image of His person—has purged our sins by Himself. He has sat down at the Father’s right hand; the work is done. There is no longer any need for us to tell others about the Lord because He is known by all. Understand, though, that time has not yet come to pass. There are many in this world lost in their sins and facing an eternity in hell without God or His Son. It is urgent that we tell them NOW before it is too late that Christ died for them to save them from their sins. They cannot see the brightness of His glory if Christians fail to reflect it in our lives.
