There is no possibility of knowing Jesus Christ in a true way without knowing the only true God. These two are one. This is one thing. It is not new doctrine, but there is a meaning there for all of us which perhaps we have not grasped. God in Christ is the end of all human heart need. It is the perfection of satisfaction, it is the heart gratifying knowledge. It is our need. Not only is this our need, but this is God's aim with us: to bring us into the knowledge of Himself in Christ. God's dealings with us are governed by this supreme aim: that He might make known to us Himself in Christ; but this comes by illumination, and that illumination is by the touch of Christ.
