• You might wonder – how could he know me and still love me? If Jesus is God, surely he knows about the terrible things I’ve done, the terrible thoughts that I’ve had. Surely Jesus, if He knows me better than I know myself, knows that I am simply unlovable. But this is where we need to know that the truth of Scripture trumps our personal feelings – the Bible assures us that Jesus knows us and loves us still. This is the amazing grace of the gospel story – not that I have to clean myself up before Jesus will accept me and love me, but that He loves me and accepts me first. He knew Mary’s name. He knows my name. And He knows yours.
