Chosen for Christ | Acts 9:10-19 | Manny Pereira

The same Christ who struck Saul blind now orders his sight. The whole scene stresses the sovereignty of the Savior. Saul’s blindness lingers. Yet, losing his sight he begins at last to see. He is now praying, not persecuting. The archenemy of the church is not merely spared, he is selected. A stunning depiction of grace is put on vivid display. Grace is never accidental and God’s election is never tentative. Saul was captured by Christ because he was chosen for Christ.
