Who Are You, Lord?

One of the deepest questions of the human soul is, “Who am I?” It’s a question that echoes through every generation, culture, and life stage. We seek identity—through relationships, careers, titles, talents, even failures. But as important as that question is, it’s not the most important one.

The greatest, most soul-defining question a person can ask is the one Saul of Tarsus asked on the road to Damascus:

“Who are you, Lord?”

Because until you know who He is, you’ll never truly know who you are.

Many Opinions, One Truth

Jesus has been called many things throughout history.

To some, He was a prophet.

To others, a philosopher or teacher.

Some say He was a rebel.

Others see Him as a myth.

But history tells us He was a real man—Jesus of Nazareth—who lived, taught, and was crucified under Roman rule. Even secular historians affirm His existence. The real question isn’t if He lived, but who He truly was.

C.S. Lewis once said we only have three logical options: Jesus was either a Liar, a Lunatic, or Lord.

You can’t just call Him a “good moral teacher” and ignore the radical claims He made.

He said things no sane man would say unless He was who He claimed to be:

“I and the Father are one.” (John 10:30)

“Before Abraham was, I AM.” (John 8:58)

“I am the way, the truth, and the life.” (John 14:6)

If those words are true, they change everything.

The Power of Eyewitness Testimony

The resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of Christianity. If He rose from the grave, then everything He said and did is verified by the power of God. And the evidence for that resurrection is staggering:

Over 500 people saw Him alive after His crucifixion (1 Corinthians 15:6).

The apostles didn’t just preach resurrection—they died for it. Tortured, beheaded, crucified. Not for gain. Not for power. But because they had seen Him alive.

History is full of people who’ve died for something—but nobody willingly dies for something they know to be false.

You want evidence? Look at the transformed lives. Look at Peter—who denied Him three times—become the bold preacher of Pentecost. Look at Paul—who once hunted Christians—now risking his life to proclaim Christ. These weren’t stories. These were encounters.

The Question That Demands an Answer

So again, we come back to that question:

“Who are you, Lord?”

It’s not just Paul’s question—it’s yours.

And it’s mine.

It’s everyone’s.

You may not see a blinding light or hear an audible voice from heaven—but God is calling. Through His Word. Through the witness of others. Through the ache in your soul that knows there has to be more.

The truth is—you don’t just need a better life.

You don’t just need a second chance.

You don’t just need therapy, religion, or behavior change.

You need a Savior.

You need someone who can do what you cannot—break the chains of sin, heal the wounds in your soul, and give you a new heart. That’s what Jesus came to do.

Jesus didn’t come to make bad people good.

He came to make dead people alive.

The answer to the question “Who am I?” will always be incomplete until you first answer, “Who are you, Lord?”

And when you see Him for who He truly is—your Savior, your Redeemer, your King—you begin to see yourself as you were always meant to be: a child of God, redeemed by grace, and called with purpose.

Invitation:

So I ask you—

Who is Jesus to you?

Is He a distant figure? A name from a book?

Or is He Lord of your life?

Because one day, you will stand before Him.

And on that day, it won’t matter how many followers you had, how much money you made, or how many mistakes you buried.

What will matter is how you answered this question:

“Who are you, Lord?”

Today, let Him reveal Himself to you.

Not just as an idea—but as your Savior.

Cry out like Saul did.

And be forever changed.
