This week, we learned we are created, imperfect, always changing and limited. Today we are going to discover we are known. This means we are known even in our imperfection and constant change. In Isaiah 43:1–3, the Lord declares His intimate knowledge of Israel and the things He does for them.

List the verbs in Isaiah 41:1–3 that describe what the Lord does for His people.

John 10:14–15 describes the way the Lord knows and acts for His people. We see a two-way street emerge as John describes what it looks like for the Lord to know His people and His people to know Him.

What does John tell us the Lord does for those He knows?

The Lord, who knows you completely, laid down His life for you. Because He knows you completely, He knows you need forgiveness. This is exactly what He offers.
