Don't Settle For a Vague Understanding of Christ | Clip from Servant Song VI

Now as we bring these songs to a close just a couple of words of advice do not settle for a vague

Understanding of the person of your Savior or his work think of the person

Why not make it your goal to get to know the Lord Jesus Christ the God man Why not make it your goal to know him better than you know any other person

What about his work? Get acquainted with the fine print of the

New Covenant I mean grab it like a greedy miser would grab up a

Document that explains your inheritance and all the ways that you will get it and when you will get it and how much

There is and where does it come from and and you just read it over and over and over Come to the

New Testament Wrestle with these words go back to the Old Testament and see the foreshadowings But do not leave the scripture alone crash against its chapters until it yields its riches to you

Particularly all that Christ is and has done for you

Sin does not come with kind of vague generalities temptation comes

Very precise. It's high -def It comes to allure us and when our conscience accuses us before God when we do sin it's not just generalities, it's very specific and if you want to have a cure for temptation if you want the cure for despair and Despondency, it's going to have to be an equally clear view of the glorious person and work of your

Savior so don't settle for anything less and Go back now and take time and let

Isaiah walk you through these four songs again until you too Like Richard roll from the medieval

English Church said until you to find yourself singing What you once only spoke can

I close these four songs with a quote by Spurgeon? It's a quote we've used before but perhaps you don't remember it or haven't heard it

Spurgeon said this My soul never be satisfied with the shadowy

Christ. I Cannot know Christ through another man's brains. I cannot love him with another man's heart

And I cannot see him with another man's eyes. I am so afraid of living in a second -hand religion

Lord save us from having borrowed Communion. No, I must know him myself.

Oh God. Let me not be deceived in this I must know him on my own account.
