Current Reflection

A Reconciled Heart

In I Corinthians 15:10 the Apostle Paul, reflecting on Jesus’ death, resurrection and appearance to him on the Damascus Road, says, “by the grace of God I am what I am.” I grew up watching the Pop-eye cartoon. Reading that phrase “I am what I am” I could not help but hear it in good ole Pop-eye’s voice, “I yam what I yam.”

Even though his post-resurrection appearance from Jesus was removed from the others, it was real to him. His salvation experience on that Damascus road, coupled with its call upon his life to preach the good news, made him what he was. “I am what I am.” .......more
