Jesus Knows It All

Jim Hightower, who was a Texas Agriculture Commissioner, once commented on an elected official. He said, “If ignorance goes to $40 a barrel, I want the drilling rights to that man’s head.” While ignorance is a problem for some, there are other who are “know-italls,” and it don’t take long to discover that know-it-alls don’t know it all at all. But there is one that does know it all and that is Jesus Christ. To each of the Seven Churches in Asia in Revelations 2 and 3, Jesus says, “I know thy works...” The Church would do well to realize that Jesus knows it all! He knows our works and He knows our minds and our hearts. He sees and recognizes those who are serving, praying and laboring in His cause and kingdom. Likewise at Laodicea, He knows those who are neither hot or cold.

Some in the Church have cooled off in their work and their worship. So many things are used as an excuse for not being more actively involved in the Church’s work, activities and worship. Christians get so caught up in our everyday affairs they fail to keep Christ and His kingdom first in their lives. Jesus says, “I know your works.” To the workers Jesus says, “I know.” To the shirkers, Jesus says, “I know.” Jesus knows it all. Do you know that Jesus knows?
