“That I may know him and the power of his resurrection.” Philippians "3":10
When the Lord Jesus was here on earth people knew Him in a variety of ways. Some had received things from His hand some had leaned on His bosom some had touched the border of His garment and some had had their feet washed by Him. There were even those who knowing Him already before His public ministry might tell how He advanced in wisdom and stature in those thirty years. It was all very local and close at hand.<br/><br/>Today Jesus is risen and we know Him by the Holy Spirit. The Lord has now become what those who touched him or were touched by him could not at that time have known. For today we meet the Lord of resurrection the One who transcends all boundaries. The Church has continued on for nearly 2000 years because there are always people who see the Lord of resurrection.
