It is possible to fervently serve Christ without knowing much about Him. We might even call Him “Lord,” yet we have never taken adequate time to understand Him. No one was busier serving God than Saul. Yet to his great consternation, he realized he was unfamiliar with the One he was allegedly serving.
At this point in Saul’s life, he was not yet a Christian. He had heard about Jesus, but until this day, he had never met Him. But what about you? Do you need to also ask, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ Would His answer surprise or disturb you? Have you been assuming things about Christ that are incorrect? Have you taken for granted that you know Christ when in fact you are virtually strangers?
Saul was a task oriented, Type-A personality. Yet once he truly came to know Christ, he discovered that everything else was garbage in comparison. He spent the remainder of his life avidly pursuing a deeper and more intimate knowledge of Christ. Has that been your life’s aim as well? Or, do you need to take time to ask, ‘Who are you, Lord?’
