"That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death•' (Phil. 3:10).
The knowledge of Christ is more excellent than any other, than all other knowledge. Our knowledge of Christ should be powerful and influential, regulating our thoughts, desires, hopes, fears, confidence and our conduct toward God and man, especially toward the saints. If we do really and sincerely' desire to know Christ, we shall search His Word, meditate on His truth, be often at His throne and speak of Him to His people.
