Why Knowing About Jesus Isnt Enough by Pastor Brett Smith

When God reveals His Son in us, a transformative experience occurs that goes beyond intellectual knowledge. We carry this treasure—Jesus Himself—in earthen vessels, highlighting that the extraordinary power comes from God, not ourselves. Though we face afflictions, perplexities, persecutions, and setbacks, we are never crushed, in despair, abandoned, or destroyed. As we die to our old selves and embrace our crucifixion with Christ, His life becomes manifest through us. Through genuine relationship with Jesus, we come to know Him intimately, and as we behold His glory, we're transformed into His likeness for others to see.
