It's Not About the Bling, It's About Jesus

We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

1 John 5:20 (NIV)

Back in the late nineties the Lakers had a pretty good team but they just couldn't break through in the playoffs. They won a lot of games during the regular season but always faltered in the playoffs. Then they hired Phil Jackson and one of the first things he did was invite Shaq to his Montana ranch. Jackson showed him his championship rings and then Shaq was like, "It's all about the bling!" Whatever Phil said to Shaq and then the team gave them an understanding of what it took to win. 

In a similar way, when we come to a saving knowledge of Christ, we gain an understanding of the truth. We come to know Christ who is the truth and we gain eternal life. It's all about knowing Jesus. 

It's about knowing Jesus as he truly is, not as we make he out to be. Christ is who he says he was, who his death and resurrection declare him to be. He is the true God and eternal life. If you know Christ, you have eternal life.

Lord Jesus Christ, we acknowledge is the only True God, our Savior and Lord. Show us yourself. Praise be to us in you today!
