Book Description: “The Third Book To Know Him” is Part 44 of The Book Of Benjamin Kareth. This book is a journey into solitude, and from solitude to discover Who God is… in 2021 God called me to come and know Him more. And so as my Solitude continues that is what I am seeking to do. This book is a collection of my daily findings on Who God is… it is my seeking To Know Him more and to make Him Known to the world.

A Glimpse Inside:

Chapter 23: The Nazarene

To Know Him… He is the Nazarene.

Ah, Nazareth… what a place.

I find it very interesting that Jesus was known not as being from Bethlehem, no, He was known as a Nazarene from Nazareth. Bethlehem was the city of David… but Nazareth was a very looked down on town with its people being fishermen and were despised by all those around them.

Jesus chose to be associated with the lowly rather than the highly regarded.

Consider that Jesus made Himself like a servant to come and serve us. Consider that we are to be the servants of all. How do we do this? Practically speaking we must serve those God has placed in our lives.

To love others as we love ourselves is to put their needs and wants above our own. We are to consider them as greater than ourselves. What an impossible task isn’t it? We need God to show us who we are in Him so that we can be secure enough in this world to humble ourselves before others to show them that they are worth a lot. Ask God today to fill you to overflowing with grace and mercy. Ask Him to teach you how to humble yourself before others and to truly love them well.

Chapter 36: The Son Of The Blessed

To Know Him… He is The Son Of The Blessed.

I’m not really sure what “Son Of The Blessed” means. I can only infer that it means that Jesus is the Son of the Blessed God… or perhaps Jesus is the son of Mary and Joseph who are blessed to be His parents?

We are all blessed richly by Jesus. His life for our life equals our salvation and redemption. I cannot ever imagine what it would have been like to be Mary or Joseph or any of those who walked with Jesus and lived beside Him day by day. That would have been incredible in a lot of ways… but I think I am somehow more blessed. Based on what Jesus Himself said to Timothy:

”Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, do you now believe? Blessed [happy, spiritually secure, and favored by God] are they who did not see [Me] and yet believed [in Me].”“ – John 20:29 AMP

Blessed means to be spiritually prosperous, happy, to be admired, forgiven, refreshed by God’s grace, inwardly peaceful, spiritually secure, worthy of respect, joyful, nourished by God’s goodness, content, sheltered by God’s promises, anticipating God’s presence, spiritually mature, spiritually calm with life-joy in God’s favor, comforted by inner peace and God’s love, and morally courageous.

I am all these things because I have believed in Jesus who I have not seen. My faith is not by sight but flows out of my spirit which has seen Jesus for who His as the Son of God sent to die for my sins.

I have not physically seen Jesus but I have seen Him in visions. God has done many things in the natural world to confirm my faith in Him. He has healed people and myself right in front of my eyes. He has left fruit in my path. Real fruit, at my feet. He has left a Gatorade by a bench on a climb I took… and it was my favorite flavor. Lately He has been leaving hair ties in my path literally everywhere I go… reminding me of His Great love for me. He speaks to me often. God is real.

Today, ask God to make Himself real to you more and more as you walk forward with Him in this life.Chapter 37: My Portion

To Know Him… He is my portion.

What is the meaning of life? I think if I were to sum it all up, to answer that question completely, I would say this:

The meaning of life is God. You and I were created to live for Him alone. You and I were created to walk with Him in the cool of the afternoons. You and I were created for Him. To praise and to glorify His Name. To show forth the glorious splendor of the richness of all that He is.

Whatever you think the final end of this journey through life will be, I have found the one thing that matters most: Him. He is the prize. He is the treasure. He is the reason. He is the way, the truth, and the life. He is all in all. To know Him and to make Him known is the meaning of life. He is our Portion, both in this life He has given us, and in the eternities of the eternities to come.
