With whom we are dealing

From Vance Havner -- written back in the 50s

Some today are trying to follow a Galilean Teacher, but a lot has happened since Jesus walked on earth in the days of His flesh. Cavlary has taken place and the resurrection and Pentecost. We are not dealing now with only a meek and lowly Jesus going about doing good, with nowhere to lay His head, and upon whose breast John laid his head. That chapter is past. We are dealing now with a crucified, risen, ascended, glorified and coming Lord with His countenance as the sun, His eyes like fire and His voice like the sound of many waters, and before whom John fell as dead.

2 Cor. 5:16 - Therefore, from now on we recognize no man according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.
