Acts 22:7, NIV
I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’ Acts 22:7, NIV This is what Jesus said to Saul (also known as Paul) when he supernaturally encountered Him in a place near Damascus. Before he was saved, Saul used to persecute the Christians in his days. He is one of those who arrested the men and women who were Jesus’ followers. This is the reason why Jesus asked Him this question, ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’ It was an overwhelming encounter for Paul because that’s when he realized who Jesus was. And the amazing part is even though…

You can’t Change the Fact that you are Loved by God
You may not believe this because maybe you already experienced so much pain in life, and you can’t seem to understand what’s going on.

Acts 21: 35-36, NIV
When Paul reached the steps, the violence of the mob was so great he had to be carried by the soldiers. The crowd that followed kept shouting, “Get rid of him!” Acts 21: 35-36, NIV This is what happened to Paul when He reached Jerusalem. The people persecuted Him and treated Him as if He was a sinner who did things against God’s will. He received harsh words. The crowd followed and kept shouting at him. Soldiers are carrying Him, and He has already experienced violence. Paul’s suffering is not easy. And the amazing thing about this is He knew all about these things. The Holy Spirit already informed Him…

Acts 21:13, NIV
Then Paul answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” Acts 21:13, NIV People were weeping when they heard that Paul would go back to Jerusalem. But even if they don’t want Paul to go, he is so decided to proceed to His plans. In fact, He is willing to die in the name of our Lord Jesus.

When you Choose Love, You will Willingly Offer Sacrifices
Love can lead you to do things that you never did before. It will somehow limit your choices because it will depend on the consequences that the people you love will receive. With love, you will learn to make painful sacrifices that will eventually change your life. You will be able to offer your life for the sake of those people who are relying on you. And this is what Jesus did on the cross. He chose to love. God commanded Him to go down on earth so that He could save us. He was thinking of the eternal consequence that we will receive if He won’t sacrifice Himself. Love…
