Best way to get to know Jesus

[Anonymous]

So obviously I can just get a copy of the Bible. Do you just read the whole NT from beginning to end? Or are there particular books or Apostles who are best to read first? Thanks.

The best way is to be His Body. If you are caring for those less fortunate, you quickly come to know Him.

Read the new testament. The gospels (matthew, mark, luke, and john) will spell out the story of Christ. The rest of the books in the new testament explain how the disciples spread the gospel. Hope this helps.

Pray. Pray all day long. You don't have to be on your knees to pray. Just pray in traffic, pray in the shower, pray while walking, pray while making a sandwich. Thank him for everything you have and everything you don't. Ask him into your heart. Ask him to show you what you are supposed to do that day for him. Ask him to lead Ypu, Whether it is helping a stranger, making someone smile, showing compassion to someone else, giving to someone, listening to someone.

Try a church. Try a few. Read your bible & pray. Love.

Read Reza Aslan's acclaimed book for a really great historical account: http://www.amazon.com/Zealot-Life-Times-Jesus-Nazareth/dp/140006922X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401299973&sr=8-1&keywords=reza+aslan+jesu

If you read the NT from beginning to end (shouldn't take long), report back here and tell us if what you learned adds up.

Read any of the 4 gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John.

Also, volunteer somewhere to help the poor.

You could go to a non-denominational church, like the ______ Christian Church.

This is great advice.

Also, OP, in addition to reacing the Gospels of the NT (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John), read some contemporary Christian apologists who have struggled with their faith and have come to see the word of Jesus as the truth. I would suggest C.S. Lewis to start ("Mere Christianity" is a classic.)
