I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.

  I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.   Acts 22:6-8 "Now as I was on my way and neared Damascus about noon, suddenly a great light from heaven shone around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?' And I answered, 'Who are you, Lord?' And he said to me, 'I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.'" On the way to Damascus, Paul was surrounded by a great light from heaven and fell down. Then he heard a voice calling his name and asked who it was. The voice was Jesus. At that moment, Paul became a completely different person.

A life that resembles Christ

  A life that resembles Christ   After preaching, most church pastors say, “ Let ’ s live a life that resembles Christ. ” In these words, only the cross of Christ is mentioned, and the resurrection of Christ is not in their thoughts. Therefore, "believers should also be humble like Jesus, serve with a merciful heart that is different from the people of the world, live a differentiated life by forgiving others, and since Jesus died on the cross, they should demonstrate a spirit of sacrifice of love that is close to the death of the cross." , What they say is “ with the purpose of making non-believers believe in God. ” Don't the resurrection of Christ and the resurrection of believers occur at the same time? In Romans 6:5, “ For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: ” Union is becoming one.
