Meditation

​

Reader,

​

Even after Jesus ascended into heaven, he remains active, as we'll see in the remaining passages from this season.

​

First with Paul's conversion and concluding with His words to John as recorded in Revelation.

​

Today, we're copying out the famous text in which Jesus confronts Saul on the road to Damascus. Tomorrow, we'll copy out his commission to Ananias.

​

Notable in today's text is Saul's description of Christians as followers of the "Way," identifying them as having not only a set of beliefs but also a way of life.

​

The early Christians had distinguished themselves in society in ways that made them easy to identify and persecute.

​

Today's text is Acts 9:1–9.

The Conversion of Saul

But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

​

3 Now as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. 4 And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”

​

5 And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. 6 But rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.” 7 The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one.

​

8 Saul rose from the ground, and although his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. So they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.

​

9 And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

Encouragement

Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.

​

For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

​

1 Corinthians 15:51-52
