Acts 9:1-19
We watched a Spirit-filled disciple in Philip be used by God as the Ethiopian eunuch went from unbelief to belief in Jesus. We read this account and rightly get fired up! But what about those who seem so far from God that you cannot help but conclude—if anyone is not being drawn to God, it must be this person. Luke knows this is a temptation of ours which explains why we puts the conversion of Saul right after the episode with the eunuch. Luke wants to prove that the saving power of Jesus knows no bounds. And he wants this records of Saul’s salvation to give us concrete hope that when Spirit-filled, bold, and powerful witnesses follow the Lord’s leading, we will see sinners saved. Main Idea—Jesus the Hound of Heaven pursues sinners—and Everyday Disciples get to join the pursuit.
