Episode notes
Christ Knew Us Before We Knew Him
- Charles H. Spurgeon emphasizes that Christ's knowledge of us preceded our knowledge of him and was perfect from the start.
- This divine prior knowledge means our ignorance, not God's, caused separation and sin until he revealed himself.
Known In Our Worst State
- Spurgeon highlights that Christ knew us even when we were enemies, in misery and madness, and still yearned for us as brethren.
- Our failure was not his but ours: we failed to see and receive the Saviour when he was present.
Prodigal And Child Equally Known
- Spurgeon contrasts the prodigal and the child at the table to show God's sure knowledge covers all states of believers.
- He celebrates that seasons of ignorance are over for those who have been shown the Lord.
