WHO ARE YOU, LORD?

So I answered, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.’ – Acts 22:8 NKJV

This man, Saul, had a blinding light encounter with the Lord. In the context of this verse, the word persecuting means “to hunt down,” like a hunter after his prey.  That is what Saul was doing.  He wanted to hunt to extinction all of Jesus’ followers.

In another meaning, the same word means earnestly wanting, causing one to aggressively chase after.  Saul became the Apostle Paul, and his transformation is epic.  He became a sold-out Jesus freak.  In his letter to the Galatians, he wrote,

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. - Galatians 2:20 NKJV

Who would Jesus say you are?  Are you one who wants to refuse to let Him into your soul and lead you in His ways?  Or are you one who lives by faith in Him?

Who do you say Jesus is?  The One who is trying to keep you from real fun?  Or do you know He loves you and died to give you real life? Talk with Him today, ask Him your hard questions.  Listen and believe what He says.

Declaration: Father God, in a day when it seems everyone looks out for their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ, I seek Your hand and Your heart for myself and others. Cause me to fulfill Your law by bearing the burdens of those in my circle of influence. Help me to crucify my flesh with its worldly passions and selfish desires, so I will truly belong to You.
