Quiet Time Notes

Reason for His Study (part I)

Mission is to help men fall in love with the character of Jesus

Some spend much time with:

• His chronology
• The geopgraphy
• His clothes
• Take photos of the lands he walked
• Customs during that time

We can become so interested in the outer life of Jesus and miss the secret his heart has to tell

Things Jesus experienced may be of some interest but not important

It is the character of Jesus which has unique and endless significance

New Testament writers were not interested in the outer Jesus but wanted us to have his character

• Friends were all obscure
• No office
• No wealth
• Born in a stable
• Taught for three years and died

They tried to describe how things affected him, how he looked at things,and how he felt toward things
