“ But
when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace,
was pleased to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach
him” ( Galatians 1:14-16)
When we meet Christ, it is never coincidental. It is
not by chance neither because it is an inherited faith. Well, maybe you can say
, I found Christ through my parents, or through a circumstance of events , no
matter what your story is God called you and set you apart All in Christ are called. The apostle Paul
says his calling was God’s grace and God’s grace is poured out to all. But if
you feel somewhere deep in your heart
that God has called you into his work
for a specific task, you were in his master plan and he planned to set you apart from the time
even before you were formed in your
mother’s womb. Do you know the Lord Jesus as the son of God, Savior and Redeemer? Consider yourself abundantly blessed that God was pleased to
reveal Jesus to you! This is the most
special and precious thing that God has done in your life. Jesus is the
unsearchable riches of God. Jesus is God’s tenderness ,love, mercy and compassion and forgiveness . When
you see Jesus you see God! As a former Muslim I believed in one God and the
Bible also says there is only but one God , but my life was so much far away
from God, though I practiced my former religion whole heartedly, I walked in darkness and sin. I had no hope and was lost in the world. This
one God revealed his Son to me and my life was drastically changed. I often questioned
What was so special about me that Jesus was revealed to me? I realized that I
was no special. He sets all of us apart so that we may experience Him. Jesus is
everything to me. He is my life , my healing, my Love and comfort , my hope and
my savior and Lord. Now all I have been doing is preaching Jesus and telling
others how much God loves you too. You can say all about God, know the whole
theology of God, but it is only through Jesus that you can experience a “
savior of boundless compassion, infinite patience, unbearable forgiveness and
love that keeps no score of wrongs” ( Brennan Manning) .
Preach Jesus!
