2 Corinthians 5:16; We Have Known Christ
2 Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
After we become the children of God, with the indwelling Spirit of Christ and the Word of God to guide us, we see men as souls in the light of eternity. Whether they will perish eternally without Christ or will they enjoy life with Christ in this present life. Our knowledge of Christ is not merely enjoying His humanity, One who wrought miracles and comfort the lost with the Word of God. But Christ who died upon the cross for our sins, rose the third day and ascended to heaven at the right hand of the Father. We know Him now in His exalted position.
