JOHN 12:12-19

“I will never know God completely. I look forward to an eternity of like every day, getting to know some new piece of him and being overwhelmed by it and excited by it, and then it's not ever going to get to ever exhaust the infinite resources of his love and his goodness. This is the reality of who God is, and Jesus says, the world doesn't know God, but I do. It's a bold statement. I know God. He says that I revealed you God to the ones I love, and if you think about it, if the scriptures, if you follow the story of Jesus, like he shows God. He shows God in his grace. You get to know God's humility. You get to know God in his strength and in his power and his miracles and his sermons. Jesus is showing God in his tears and his laughter. Jesus helps humanity to get to know God like never before. I never sense. There's still no better depiction of God in the entire world than the picture of Jesus in the scriptures. Do you want to get to know God? Read the scriptures. Get to know Jesus. In Jesus, like even the Gentiles get to know God. The tax collectors get to know God. The prostitutes and everyone has a chance to get to know God in Jesus. reveals that God getting to know God, getting to love God. This is all about like living a life together in a conversation. If you want to know God, you have to realize you are going to continue to get to know God as you converse with Him, your spirit with His Spirit, your heart with His heart, your mind with His mind, this dialogue.”
