Do you know Jesus? There is a difference between knowing about Jesus and experiencing Him personally. First you
meet Him through others; then you meet Him for yourself.
Some people think they know Jesus because they have heard and read the Gospels. But Jesus Himself said we would know Him through the power of the Holy Spirit:
...the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name,
will instruct you in everything and remind you of all that I told you.
John 14:26.
He even said it was better for all of us that He go to the Father:
If you truly loved me you would rejoice to have me go to the Father.
John 14:28b.
While Jesus lived here on earth, He was limited by His humanity. He was limited as to how many lives He could touch; how many He could heal. By ascending to the Father, He could reach the whole world through the power of the Holy Spirit.
So the way to get to know Jesus is to read and study the Gospel, be baptized, and then to pray (and preferably prayed with by others) for the power of the Holy Spirit. Then you will truly know Jesus.
