(Lesson 2744)(06-29-19) Acts 9:19-22
“And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus. And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests? But Saul increased in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.”
Today’s quote relates that Saul, after a short period with the the Christians at Damascus, began to fervently preach that Jesus was indeed the Son of God. That message, coming from Saul, confounded those who had known him to be a torturer of Christians.
The example of Saul’s conversion is the perfect lesson as to what a lost soul should do to become a child of God. A lost soul should profess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God committing to Him entirely by faith for the remission of sins. And then, that child of God is to do as Saul did, he/she should preach the message of God’s saving grace through the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. That message should be preached to every soul who is willing to listen.~
