“And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;”
Acts 26:15-16 KJV
Saul as he was then, asked, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ “And the Lord replied, ‘I Am Jesus, the One you are persecuting. Get up and stand to your feet, for I have appeared to you to reveal your destiny and to commission you as My assistant. You will be a witness to what you have seen and to the things I will reveal whenever I appear to you.” In the Hebrew, Jesus said, “I Am Jesus, the Victorious..”. Jesus promised Paul not only his destiny but that He would appear to him in future appearances also. As the prophet spoke of the Messiah, “Look! Here comes Lord Yahweh as a victorious warrior; He triumphs with His awesome power. Watch as He brings with Him His reward and the spoils of victory to give to His people.” Jesus’s victory on the Cross was complete and He promises the same to us, His people, in our relationship with Him, that He will appear to us like He did with Paul. Our destiny is in our Victorious Christ. Amen!
