Celebrity, Acquaintance, Or Confidant?

An run across amongst a celebrity led to the thoughts inward this  Celebrity, Acquaintance, or Confidant?

I attended a Christian women's retreat xx years ago, as well as nosotros had an unexpected visitor: Bob Hope popped into our hotel conference room.

Hope, who was devoted to USO work, took fourth dimension to greet our grouping because nosotros were country of war machine wives.

We were awed yesteryear his kindness, as well as it made me wonder how we’d convey responded if Christ had physically stopped by. Would He locomote similar Bob Hope, somebody nosotros recognized, somebody nosotros knew yesteryear reputation, simply nonetheless a stranger?

We speak almost “relationship, non religion,” simply what does that genuinely hateful to us?
  • Is Christ an acquaintance or our closed confidant?
  • Do nosotros know about Him or produce nosotros know Him?
  • Are nosotros doing deliberate things to teach to know Him better?
Jeremiah 9:24 says, “let him who boasts boast of this: that he understands as well as knows me.” 

We were awed that a celebrity had given us five minutes, simply the King of the Universe wants to know us as well as He’s e'er available! Wow!
