Do everyone KNOW the Son ? Do everyone KNOW the Father ?

For we heard:

• All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one KNOWS the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone KNOW the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.-Matthew 11:27 NKJV

Aren’t we supposed to be concerned with what our Lord have said ? We should.

So do we KNOW the Son, that the Father reveals ? Do we KNOW the Father whom the Son revealed ?

Have we carefully considered whether we are the ones whom the Son wills to reveal Him ?

Can anyone share what the Son wills to reveal Him ?
Let us pray and seek the Lord’s wisdom and understanding, that we may perceive and understand what our Lord said, that we may KNOW and abide in His will.

Does our Lord say this to us, that we may KNOW ? Yes, I believe so.

Mau the Lord Guide us into all truth. To God be glory. Amen

Dear one,
I don’t say what you perceive and understand is wrong. But let us consider more what we have heard. For we heard:

• And he said to them, "Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you. -Mark 4:24

So let us pay attention to what we heard from the Lord and let still more will be added to us, that is, to perceive and understand what He said to us.

Even this was said to Philip, one of the disciples who followed the Lord :

• Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not KNOWN Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

Have we been with the Lord so long and yet we have not KNOWN our Lord Jesus? Can this be said to us ? Philip who has seen Jesus, then didn’t perceive the Father who is in Christ. Can this be said to us who has not seen Jesus physically? Have we perceived the Father as the Son reveal to us? or Have we perceived the Father according to only our own understanding? So, we persevere to know more the Father as the Son reveals to us. For we heard prophet Hosea said:

• Let us KNOW; let us press on to KNOW the LORD; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth." -Hosea 6:3 ESV

In other NKJV, was said:

• Let us KNOW, Let us pursue the KNOWLEDGE of the LORD.His going forth is established as the morning;He will come to us like the rain,Like the latter and former rain to the earth.- Hosea 6:3 NKJV

So dear one, let us press on to KNOW the Father as the Son reveals to us as we pursue the KNOWLEDGE of the Lord.

How do we KNOW what the Son revealed ? This is what we have heard:

• So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, -John 8:31
• and you will KNOW the truth, and the truth will set you free." -John 8:32

So dear one,
Don’t we consider ourselves also as Jews by nature, not sinners of the Gentiles? Yes, we are. Aren’t we those who believe Christ? We are. So when we abide in His words, the Son said to us, that we will KNOW the truth. Won’t we KNOW the truth about the Father whom the Son reveals ? We will.

So let us abide in His words or let us meditate His words and kept His words close to our hearts and minds, that we will KNOW the truth.

This is the TRUTH that we have heard from apostle John:

• And we KNOW that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may KNOW Him (God the Father) who is true; and we are in Him (God the Father) who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. -1 John 5:20

So how we know that in God the Father who is true and also in His Son, Jesus Christ? This is also what we have been confirmed by apostle Paul:

• For it pleased the Father that in Him (Christ) all the fullness should dwell, and by Him (Christ) to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.- Colossians 1:19 NKJV
  
• having made KNOWN to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him.- Ephesians 1:9-10 NKJV
• Then comes the end, when He (God the Son) delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.

So these has been made KNOWN to us, as our Lord Jesus has said :

• All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one KNOWS the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone KNOW the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.-Matthew 11:27 NKJV

Is this all that the Son will reveal ? Is this all the Father will let us KNOW the Son ? No.

So let us press on to know the Lord,
for more still will be added to us.

Dear one,
Am I here to boast that I KNOW more than you ? No, dear one.

But that we be the ones whom the Son wills to reveal the Father.

For we heard:

• Thus says the LORD: "Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, -Jeremiah 9:23
  
• but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and KNOWS me, that I am the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the LORD." -Jeremiah 9:24

Dear one,
Do I try to boast my wisdom to you? No.
Do I try to boast my might to you ? No.
Do I try to boast my riches to you ? No.

Dear one,
But I do try that we may glory in this, that we understand and KNOW Christ, that Christ is the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth.

Dear one,
Let us share what we understand Christ, that He is the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth.

Dear one,
Let us share what we KNOW Christ, that He is the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth.

Dear one,
Why we must share what we understand and KNOW what Christ is, this is what we have heard:

• Therefore when we could bear it no longer, we were willing to be left behind at Athens alone, -1 Thessalonians 3:1
• and we sent Timothy, our brother and God's coworker in the gospel of Christ, to establish and exhort you in your faith, -1 Thessalonians 3:2
• that no one be moved by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we are destined for this. -1 Thessalonians 3:3
• For when we were with you, we kept telling you beforehand that we were to suffer affliction, just as it has come to pass, and just as you KNOW. -1 Thessalonians 3:4
• For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor would be in vain. -1 Thessalonians 3:5

Dear one,
with such love, apostles and faithful ministers of God could not bear not seeing us face to face, that they sent Timothy, a true child in the faith, to establish and exhort us in the faith, that we may not be moved by afflictions that many of them have suffered in Christ, that they may not labor for love in vain.

Dear one,
KNOWING as the afflictions have come to pass, let us be established and be exhorted in our faith, believe steadfastly, that Christ is the LORD who always practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth.
In this manner, we bring delights to God our Heavenly Father.

Dear one,
Let us perceive and understand how Christ’s steadfast love, justice and righteousness applied in our lives, that we may be established and be exhorted in the faith, that we believe, that we may truly rejoice in bringing delights to the Father of life.

Dear one,
Are you concerned that you KNOW God, that God may not have KNOWN you ?

This is what we have heard:
But if anyone loves God, he is known by God. -1 Corinthians 8:3

So dear one, let us love God, that we be known to God, that we love Him.

Dear one,
when you love someone ! Won’t you be delighted to KNOW him/her more ?

Dear one,
For we love God.
Dear one,
Let us be delighted to KNOW the love of Christ that surpass knowledge, that we may be filled with the fullness of God.

Dear one,
This is what we have heard:

• We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father,-
  ‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭1:2-3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
• KNOWING, beloved brethren, your election by God.‭‭-1 Thessalonians‬ ‭1:4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Apostles, called us as beloved brethren, KNOWING our election by God, for we are elected to be in union with Christ.

Dear one, let us be strengthen in the love that we receive, for apostles and faithful ministers of God that they remember us in their prayers without ceasing our work of faith, labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father.

Dear one,
For we receive our election by God to inherit the blessing of God through Christ our Lord.

For we heard :

• Thus says the LORD:“As the new wine is found in the cluster, And one says, ‘Do not destroy it, For a blessing is in it,’So will I do for My servants’ sake,That I may not destroy them all.-Isaiah 65:8 NKJV
• I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, And from Judah an heir of My mountains; My elect shall inherit it, And My servants shall dwell there.-Isaiah 65:9 NKJV

So dear one, why the elect is mentioned as one not as many ? It is because as apostles of Christ, KNOW our election by God, are found in unity with Christ Jesus, that we may inherit the blessing in the new wine, that the Lord (the Father God) have said.

Dear ones,
This is what we have heard:

• For you yourselves KNOW, brethren, that our coming to you was not in vain.-‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭2:1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
• But even after we had suffered before and were spitefully treated at Philippi, as you KNOW, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much conflict.-‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭2:2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Dear ones,
How do we KNOW that apostles, that their coming to us not in vain ?

For apostles’ gospel of Christ didn’t come to us in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as we KNOW what kind of men apostles were among us for our sake. And we become followers of apostles and of the Lord Jesus Christ, having received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit so that we became examples to all who believe. (referred from 1 Thessalonians 1:5-6)

Dear ones,
Let us remember how apostles had suffered before and were spitefully treated at Philippi, that we KNOW, that they are bold in our God our Father to speak to us the gospel of Jesus Christ in much conflict.

Dear ones,
let us recognize apostles of Christ who labor among us and are over us in the Lord and admonish us.
Let us esteem very highly in love for their work’s sake, that is in faith and love, that is in Christ Jesus.

Now to whom our Lord Jesus Christ wills to reveal the Father ; is it not to those who love God through suffering what is right ? Yes, it is.

For we heard:

• He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. -2 Corinthians 9:10
• You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. -2 Corinthians 9:11

So our Heavenly Father supply Christ, the incorruptible seed to the apostles who are sowers and bread of life, that is, Christ, that has supplied and multiply the word of the kingdom for sowing souls and increase the fruits of their righteousness in Christ Jesus.

For apostles are enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.

Dear one,
Let us give thanks to God that apostles give thanks to God always, making mention of us in their prayers, remembering our work of faith, labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father.

Dear ones,
Let us remember and treasure such faith and love apostles of Christ has for us, that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Let abound in thanksgiving to God.

Dear ones
This is what we have heard:

• For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.-‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Dear ones,
What is the hope of our righteousness in Christ by faith, that we wait eagerly through the Holy Spirit?

This is what we have heard:

• For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?-‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

What is in this hope ? This is what we have heard:

• For we KNOW that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.-‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:22-23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

So our hope of righteousness by faith in Christ Jesus, not only the creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

For we hope what we do not see, we eagerly wait for the adoption, that is, the redemption of our body, that is, the body that is united with Christ by faith.

For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly wait for the revealing of the sons of God. Because of Christ, subject the creation to hope, that the creation itself will be set free from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of children of God.

Is this not Christ wills to reveal the Father ? Yes.

For the Father of all creations will be glorified in the glorious liberty children of God.

Dear one,
Let us remember, even as our Heavenly Father chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In love
the Father predestined us for adoption to Himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His will, to the praise of His glorious grace, with which the Father has blessed us in the Beloved Christ.

These things God has revealed to us through the Holy Spirit.

Let us praise His glorious grace.

To God be glory in the holy church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
