Today's encouragement comes from Acts 22:8a & 10a, where we read these words:
"So I [Paul] answered, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ . . . So I [Paul] said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ “This couplet of questions from the newly-converted Saul of Tarsus also eman-ates from all other regenerated Christians. We come to know that the “Lord” is our Lord Jesus Christ; and we then need to know what we are to “do,” giv-en that we are now new creatures in Christ.
Because Paul now “knew” that Jesus was Lord, he comprehended that he [Paul] was to be His [Christ’s] happy and willing servant/minister/apostle, from that moment, into all eternity. If we “know” Jesus, we will love God in Him; and we will find ourselves “doing” His will, being led by the Holy Spirit.
