Who Are You?

The audio cast discusses the pains of not being recognised and the succor found in Christ and knowing who we are in Christ. To me, it was enough that the apostles were seen as being Christlike. The Sanhedrin marvelled at the boldness and wisdom of Peter and John. In Acts 4:13,we read that When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. At Antioch, the disciples were first called Christians – Christlike- and that’s who they were.
We are the disciples of today. This is our testimony and it is suffiecient for us because it is the Grace of God. The problem is that at times, we walk away from who we should be and pretend to be what the world think we should be. If we do what the Apostles did, people must know who we are. Jesus said “Let your light shine” but most of us shine in the church and hide the lamp under the drawers in our workplaces. If you shine people must see your light and know who you are in Christ. Isn’t it always true that friendliness with the world is enemity with God?.
