7. Heb.10:19-22 says Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, ²¹ and since we have a great priest over the house of God, ²² let us draw near to God...

   How should we get to know God personally? What are some ways people go about it wrongly?


Note to parents/teachers

    In this "Doug", Doug is assigned to do a report on the Sleech's. No one wanted to be assigned to them because they were odd. Stories were made up about them and imaginations ran wild. The Sleech's got to know Doug by examining garbage and his house rather than talking and listening to him. Isn't that the way a lot of people get to know God. They look at nature or current events or just their preconceived notions and come up with a "god" that isn't God at all. Why not come to Him personally? Probably because they know what they will find and it will contradict them. The Sleech's wanted Doug to know their dad by what they said, not meeting him. Doug wouldn't settle for that and by doing so met someone awesome and blessed the class and helped the Sleech's be accepted. A lot of people want to get to know God through someone else like their parents, preacher, Sunday School teachers, movies,... anything else but meeting with Him themselves. Jesus came that we might know God and then made a way that we might enter into His presence at any time. Do you know about God or do you know Him?
