Chapter 9, Verses 1-8

Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”

“Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked.

“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

Thanks for keeping our eyes on the trunk of tree, eternal life and salvation through Jesus Christ to every person.

These little details are rabbit trails that we follow like beagles.

[Hebrews 11:6]

The centrality of Christ. When we’re born again, regenerated, He is at our center, forevermore. Nothing else compares.
