In the world, it matters who you know. Who you know will determine how you grow. This is what people generally say. 

The truth is not all have connections that matter. The advantages in the world are limited to a few. 

The godfather of AI quit a top search company because he did not like the way companies were rushing with such potentially dangerous technology. 

Relationships on the earth eventually break up and end in ruin. But we have the perfect lover, Father, friend and guide in Jesus. 

WHO DO YOU KNOW?

The Thessalonians knew Jesus so well that Macedonia and Achaia accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. This is an incredible testimony of believers who not only accepted Christ during affliction but also lived as examples to neighbouring Macedonia and Achaia to be saved! 

How is your relationship with Jesus? Is your connection with Him growing intimate, or are you moving further away from Him? 

Who you know matters for this life and eternal life. The only name that matters is the name of Jesus. The only connection that will keep us joyful in the middle of trials and be a blessing to others. 

You don't need to know anyone else but Jesus. The apostles knew no one in the flesh. Neither do we need to. Every job is relationship-focused. But you don't need to please a man to grow and stay on top. You need Jesus. At home, work, church and anywhere you go. 

Jesus opens rivers in high places, rivers amid valleys, and springs in the desert. He is the living God who died for us and rose again victoriously over sin, sickness, and fear of death. 

Come closer to Jesus, dear believer. Let Him raise you to be the one to be known by others in the world because you have the words of eternal life. 

Look up! Your redemption's drawing near. Maranatha, Praise God, and Amen.
