Only Jesus Truly Knows Me

Philippians 2:5~11

 

 

 

 

When you feel lonely, you would find your friends or families who you think they love you. But you could find out the fact that they can not understand your feelings and minds because all of them are self-centred instinctly and basically human can not understand by their limitation including you. In the world, only one can perfectly understand you. He is Jesus Christ.

By the text, He "did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage." What is the meaning? Jesus was a son of God. He is truly God. But he came to here wearing the body of human who can receive secular pain and sufferings. If he came to here as having a power of God, he will be comfortable to be with us. He chose his life of this world to live in as a human. This is very graceful to us; 1) he was tested by three tests of Satan about secular honor, spiritual temptation, and physical hunger. 2) he was a carpenter. It means that he knows well the life of working like delaying salaries, the relationships of workers, and feeling of hard works. 3)he was betrayed by his family, friends, and disciples like Peter, John and so on.

One day, a man who relied on only Jesus met him in the beach. The man asked him "when I was in sufferings, I called and prayed for you. Where have you been?" At that time, Jesus and the man saw the footprints of one man in the beach. "Look at this, you were not with me". Jesus said to him "These are not yours but mine. Why do not you remember while you were in sufferings I carried you and walked in the beach?"

 

"And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. " (Matthew 10:30~31)

 

Yes! it is! Jesus Christ perfectly understand us in the world. So we do not need anything to have a fear. We are happy Jesus Christ to be my friend, the Lord, and the savour.
