Scott Allen leads today's lesson from Acts 22:6-21. Paul, having returned to Jerusalem to worship at the temple, faces a hostile mob of zealous Jews who consider him a traitor to their religion. Saved by Roman soldiers, Paul takes opportunity to address the crowd, recounting the events of Acts chapter 9. Paul's presentation highlights both the uniqueness of his conversion experience on the Damascus road as well as common elements of every believer's salvation experience. Whatever our background, salvation comes through repentance and faith in Jesus the one and only Savior. Like Paul we must have a personal confrontation, compliance, and conversion... and we all obtain a personal commission to share such a great salvation in our own mission field.
