The Mission of Jesus
By Apostle Joshua Selman

Philippians 3:10

John 17:3

The stability of your Christian experience depends on your accurate knowledge of the person Jesus.

You can know a lot, but if any dimension of knowledge you have is greater than that of Jesus, then your Christian experience will be found wanting.

Everything you know will be tested, and if you do not know the person Jesus, you may fall by the way side.
