Wow! In today's reading we see God's glory, power and grace displayed in the transformation of Saul's life. God is continuing to build his church and display his manifold wisdom to the world! How ironic that Jesus would confront and choose His lead persecutor to be his one of his lead ambassadors! Jesus is clearly King and He continues to expand his Church through the work of the Holy Spirit in-spite of the persecution.
Questions to Ponder...
1.) If Jesus had already ascended to heaven, why did Jesus ask Saul : "Saul, Saul why do you persecute me?"
2.) Even thought Saul was converted, his Jewish peers did not stop persecuting the church. What does this tell us about the intense spiritual battle for the message of Jesus Christ?
3.)In verse 31, who encouraged the church?
Ways to Pray...
Father, thank you for calling me out to be one of your ambassadors. Lord please give me your boldness to continue to live out the Gospel message.
