Acts 9:1-9
Saul on the way to Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him.
For three days he was blind and did not eat or drink anything.
Saul's confrontation with Jesus, on the road to the old Syrian capital, Damascus, marks a turning-point in the history of the early church. The story is told three times in Acts.
Never has any conversion brought a more radical change. The blinding light leaves Saul sightless for three days, with nothing to do but think.
The way: The church was known by this name before the people of Antioch invented the new name 'Christian'
Persecute me: Those who persecute his followers persecute Jesus himself.
Jesus told Saul," I want you to get up and enter the city. In the city you'll be told what to do next."
Why?
Jesus looked his follower be persecuted as himself be persecuted, so Jesus make judge on this.
Turn to the Lord is the work of the Lord, only Jesus Christ can make the stone heart become soft heart. Only Jesus Christ can save us from sin and dead.
Jesus wanted use Saul to preach gospel so Jesus told Saul enter the city and waited three days.
Saul was proud with his power and leader to persecute Jesus followers, now he found he can do nothing. he need others to lead his hand to the town. So he become humble and knew Jesus.
How?
Preach Jesus Christ and good news to others, no matter how worse he is, Jesus Christ is our savior to all of us. Do not afraid anyone only listen to the leading of Holy Spirit.
