The missing ingredient

The man who wrote most of the New Testament books was a highly educated theologian but He was a persecutor of the followers of Jesus Christ. He knew the Old Testament books very well, the law of Moses, but he didn't know Jesus and then while going after the followers of Jesus, He met Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus (Acts 9). He fell on his face and he said:”Who are you Lord?” And Jesus said:”I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.”
On that day Saul of Tarsus was changed for ever. He became Paul, the apostle Paul, who went on to die for Jesus Christ, who preached Jesus Christ. He was for ever changed, and that is the MISSING INGREDIENT with most current day believers, THEY HAVE NEVER MET JESUS CHRIST! They have never been changed, they do not know Jesus Christ. Their theology is all about the Bible, it is about the writings of other people but they have not met Jesus Christ! They never had a Damascus road experience where they met Jesus face to face and said:”Who are you Lord?” That was when Paul was changed and after that he didn't preach theology, he preached Jesus Christ and Him crucified. He went on to die for Jesus Christ. Why? Because He knew Him. What Paul wrote he received from Jesus in revelation. Paul never walked with the other disciples but he was taught by Jesus and he wrote more than any of the other disciples. He knew Jesus Christ FOR REAL because he had met Him.
Have you had a Damascus road experience? Have you MET Jesus Christ? Have you been CHANGED for ever? Is Jesus Christ your REALITY? OR is Jesus Christ the MISSING INGREDIENT in your theology? Because if you do not have Jesus, you have NOTHING!

May Jesus bless you.
