What does it mean to be truly known? In a world where many feel anonymous despite being constantly connected, Pastor Timothy Mann delivers a profound message about the God who not only sees us but knows us intimately by name.Drawing from Jesus' words in John 10, Mann reveals how the Good Shepherd's knowledge of His sheep goes far beyond mere awareness—it's deeply personal, relationship-based, and ultimately saving. The biblical concept of "knowing" (yada) carries weight: it's God's intimate acquaintance with us, His covenant commitment, His redemptive purpose working in our lives. As Pastor Mann eloquently puts it, "God doesn't just notice our pain; He knows us." This divine knowledge transcends our performance—God doesn't love us more on our good days or less on our bad days. His knowledge of us remains steadfast when we feel unseen, unheard, or overwhelmed.The message reaches its theological depth in examining Romans 8:29-30, where we discover that salvation begins not with our faith but with God's foreknowledge. "Before you ever reached for God, He reached for you. Before you called on His name, He called you by name," Pastor Mann explains. This foreknowledge isn't God simply looking into the future to see who would believe; it's His active, loving decision-making that secures our redemption.For those who belong to Christ, this brings profound security. Like the firefighter who knew exactly where to find his daughter in the burning building, Jesus knows His own and will never let them go. The Shepherd who laid down His life for the sheep remains committed to completing the work He began, carrying His people all the way to glory.Have you responded to the Shepherd's voice? He knows you and calls you. Don't resist, don't delay—the invitation to belong to His flock stands open today.
