There is a massive difference between knowing about God and actually knowing Him. In this teaching, Pastor Mark points out that many religious people in Jesus’ day knew God’s Word better than the back of their hand. They picked it apart and analyzed it in a way that would put us to shame, yet they totally missed the Messiah it foretold. It is vital to keep your heart open to the work of God. You need to spend time in prayer and in the study of His Word, not merely to equip yourself for theological debates, but for the purpose of growing in intimacy with your Heavenly Father.
