Who Is This?

59-0510E

One revelation on that sacred sand, one time upon that place, man can never be the same. A man, before he should call himself a Christian, before he can identify himself, he should first have that backside-of-the-desert experience, where he met God, face to face.
For, today, you can have any kind of an answer. You can see the Lord perform just exactly what He said do, and smart theologians will explain It away. They'll say, “That was for another day. It was for this. Or, It's for another age. Or, It's wrong.” Like they said of Jesus, “He is Beelzebub, the devil. He's a fortuneteller.” And all those things, they have an answer.
But when a man has ever come in contact with Christ, and seen Him as Paul did, or experienced Him, there is not enough theologians in the world to ever be able to explain that experience away from a man.
That's the reason, today, they don't have the experience. That's the reason they can't say…they're all saying, “Who is This? What is This? Where does It come from?” They don't have the answer. Why? Because, all they know is a theology that some church has made. Not “to know theology” is Life. Not “to know the Bible” is Life.
But “to know Him” is Life. “To know Him” as your personal Saviour, as the One Who has filled you with His Presence. You were there when it happened. There's nobody can take It away from you. There's no one can explain It away for you. When that experience happens to you, you know Who He is. To me, He is Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.
