Today, many people all over the world are still contemplating whether Jesus Christ is the Lord or not. But there is at least one US President who openly agrees that Jesus Christ is the Lord.
How about you? Do you know the Lord? Many people received salvation, but still, they didn’t know the name of the Lord.
Some “Believers” think they know the Lord. Others don’t know that they don’t know him. And there is a minority that knows that they know him. To which group do you belong?
Irrespective of which group you find yourself in, all who know the Lord possess this one trait. They all know his name. What is the name of your Lord?
In the Bible, there was this Christian persecutor whose name was Saul of Tarsus. He thought that he knew the Lord, for he was a religious man. He was a fervent Pharisee of the Pharisees.
Did this Man’s Experience Teach That Jesus Christ is The Lord?
Because of him, many Christians suffered. He imprisoned many. And they killed many more.
“I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished” (Acts 22:4-5).
However, while he was on one of those trips he ran into the Lord.
As Saul journeyed to Damascus, the Lord appeared to him. But Saul wasn’t alone. He illuminated Saul to the extent that it blinded him.
Saul Asked, “Who Are You, Lord?”
The light of the Lord was brighter than the sun at noon. But it wasn’t just the light. He spoke with Saul.
“And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?” (Acts 9:3-4).
Saul asked, “Who are you, Lord?”
The Lord answered, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting”.
Then, when realization kicks in, Saul submits to the highest power: the Lord.
Therefore, “he trembling and astonished,” asked the Lord a question.
He enquired, “Lord, what do you want me to do?”
President Confesses – “I Agree Jesus Christ Is The Lord”
Consequently, the Lord instructed him: “Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do” (Acts 9:6).
Any time you have an encounter with the Lord, He always enlightens you. The Lord enlightened Saul.
When you discover that Jesus Christ is the Lord you will discover yourself. You will find your purpose in life.
Saul did and his direction in life changed. For that reason, he asked the Lord, what were His plans for him. Then, the Lord sent him to Damascus and Ananias to him.
Because of this experience, he realized for the first time that the Lord has a name. Remember, He told Saul that his name is Jesus.
Previously, I wrote that the Lord is not a name. This proves me right. But, now you can read it for yourself. If the Lord were a name he wouldn’t inform Saul that he is Jesus.
Finally, speaking of that US President who says: “I agree Jesus Christ is the Lord”, he is President Obama.
