Pastor Chris elaborates on the significance of acknowledging Jesus as the Son of God and recognizing His divinity. He challenges the notion that some hold, suggesting that Jesus' divinity was invented by early Christians, emphasizing that Jesus openly proclaimed his divinity in the New Testament.

Pastor Chris also discusses practical ways to deepen one's relationship with Jesus. He suggests beginning and ending each day with a focus on Jesus through prayer and scripture, reminding the congregation of the value of Sabbath as a day devoted to God. He also encourages them to praise Jesus even in challenging times, emphasizing that the love and guidance of Jesus are ever-present.

The core message of the sermon is that knowing and growing closer to Jesus is the ultimate goal of the Christian life, and this relationship should be nurtured through constant communication, devotion, and a deep understanding of Jesus' divinity.
