Known by the Spirit

Do you meet believers who say they wish they had lived when I lived on earth? This is not available to you and is not as desirable as you may think. Many who saw me in person did not follow me. Yet you have something better available to you. A witness in my word recounts that though he knew me in the flesh, henceforth he knows me in the spirit rather than the flesh. This same relationship is available to you. This is a superior way of knowing, transcending the limitations of appearance. It is the ultimate reality, and the way you are able to know me as I know you.
