Our next hidden figure is Ananias: not the husband of Sapphira from Acts 5 or the high priest from Acts 23. In Acts 9, we find a devout Jew who was used by the Lord to welcome Paul (Saul) into the fellowship of the disciples. But this was no routine discipleship process. The context in which Ananias ministered was a dangerous and difficult context. From a short reflection on his obedience to the Lord, we’ll learn something about the difficulty of discipleship.
