Acts 26:14 (New International Version)
We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic,[a] 'Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.'
Whatever the wicked of this world do hurts the Lord Jesus Christ personally.Whatever the wicked do against Christ our Lord hurts God,the Father in Heaven.
In this verse we see Saul persecuting Christ our Lord even though He wasn't there in person.Saul persecuted the Christians but Christ our Lord felt the pain, even though He was already seated at the right-hand side of God in Heaven.He was so close to His people whom He has chosen on earth.He intercedes for those whom God has chosen in Christ through a 'Promise'.
There are only two groups of people on this earth.They are either children born ordinarily or children of God born out of a 'Promise' from God.The 'Promise' is the children born out of the power of the Holy Spirit.They are born out of their believe in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior,Redeemer and Lord.For Jesus Christ is The 'Promised One' of God.
Galatians 4:28-29 (New International Version)
Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. At that time the son born in the ordinary way persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now.
God is on the side of those who are on the side of His own Son,the Lord Jesus Christ.
The power of the Holy Spirit in them will make the difference.
Of course,the Devil will have its children masquerade as 'one' of God's chosen with reasons to persecute the promised children of God by mingling with them.The children of the Devil will counterfeit every truth of Jesus Christ and appear as one of God's own.It will be revealed soon at the triumphant return of Christ to earth with His chosen ones and the angels of God.We will know for sure on whose side God and His Christ has been.Of course,on the side of those born out of the power of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 13:37-39 (New International Version)
He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man.The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
God is the on the side of His own Son, the Lord Jesus Christ and what He has sown on this earth.The Enemy and its ordinary children will oppose Christ and His chosen ones.
Who can be against God and His Christ on this earth,heaven or underneath the earth?
Who can be against what God the Creator has chosen to represent Him on earth?
Romans 8:31-35 (New International Version)
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
Who dare to oppose Him and think that he or she can escape judgment from Him.Especially His own beloved Son whom He loves and is well pleased with.
All those who oppose the preaching of the gospel of the good news of Jesus Christ be ready for whats coming soon at your door step.If you dare to oppose God the Maker of heaven and earth, be watchful then of the coming events in God's calendar.It will catch you by surprise!
