Acts 22:4-16
The visualization of these verses really brought them to
life for me. Saul is traveling and a great light shown onto him while he had
just came to Damascus. Then a voice called out Saul, Saul. Saul fell to the
ground not knowing who it was The Savior tells Saul that it is Jesus who he has
been persecuting. And after a conversation the Savior tells him to go into
Damascus to receive instructions. When he goes into Damascus he meets someone
named Ananias who tells him to not only receive his sight but that he is a
chosen one to declare the knowledge of the Savior unto mankind. But the part
that really has stood out to me is when Ananias tells him to get baptized and
have all of his sins washed away. This is true for all of us, if we know that
these things are true and we can see how Saul/Paul is struggling with the fact
that he was teaching so many that the Savior was false and now he was supposed to
go and teach of the truthfulness. He was probably struggling with that sin and
how he would be able to do this thing that seemed impossible. But if he would
go and be baptized all of those things could be forgive of him and he could
move forward toward what the Lord asked him to do.
