@Lucretia,
I think that because of who Jesus is--whether a person has never seen him before or not, He is known--to those whom God will reveal Him too. Remember how in the very beginning of the book of Matthew in the New Testament, in chapter 17, how Peter, James and John all recognized Moses and Elias. I doubt that they'd had portraits or images drawn up of them back then--seems not Godly--so that was supernatural, the revelation of who Moses and Elias were when they appeared with Jesus. Only the Pharisees, Sadducees, and others did not know who Jesus was. So if they knew who Moses and Elias where, how much more Jesus. Remember how the devils knew who Jesus was, and obeyed and feared Him, when Jesus cast them out of men (Example Matthew chapter 8 verses 28-29 and also verses 31 through 32). Thank you for pointing out that verse. It ALWAYS struck me as AWESOME, that that king IMMEDIATELY knew who Jesus Christ was. There was NO OTHER WAY for the king to know who Jesus Christ was, other than the fact that Jesus Christ was and IS EXACTLY who He said He was. He IS God's Son, and our Savior--our ONLY chance into Heaven is through Him and obeying His Father's word, which He preached. I also love that Jesus calls God OUR Father (ex. Matthew chapter 5 verse 48 and especially in Matthew chapter 7 verses 9 through 11)--even though most of us are like me, and not ANYWHERE NEAR being who God, through Jesus, commands us to be. This verse IS AWESOME!!! Helps to reinforce faith in Jesus Christ and His/Our Father's word!!! Awesome!!!
