The basis of firsthand, saving knowledge of Jesus Christ is not any hearsay (including the words of Jesus Himself) but His works producing standard vision of His absolute authority (John 1:47-51) as conclusively provided, for all posterity, in Christ's death on the cross (John 3: 1-21; 8: 21-28; 14: 15-21; 19: 30-37). Personally, I have seen the vision 35 years ago and continued to grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ ever since. PRAISE THE LORD! Children, with their sense of least developed self-reliance, will be more receptive and less resistant than adults to the self-revelation of Jesus Christ on the cross.

Great post. I pray that the children I teach will one day be able to profess personal knowledge of Jesus - not just knowledge of what they've been told. You have encouraged and challenged me today.
