Welcome to the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast. We are in Acts 9:1-9.
The theme of this section is the
persecution of believers, whether
as an individual, such as Stephen,
or as the church as a whole.
This persecution was being carried
out by a religious zealot, Saul, a
Pharisee of the Jewish religion.
Saul became afraid because at this
point, a bright light shined on
them and he was blinded. He asked,
‘Who are you lord, sir?”
And when our Lord appeared to Saul,
personally, speaking in the Hebrew
language, He identifies Himself by
name, saying, ‘I Am Jesus, whom you
are persecuting!’ Jesus takes
persecution against His church very
personally.
From this point on, Saul is given
time to consider who this Jesus is.
This is one of the 17x appearances
of Jesus after His resurrection.
Let’s join Dr. Mitchell, Acts 9:1-9.
