Ananias doesn’t want to help Saul for several very good reasons. Saul is killing Ananias and his friends. He’d heard bad things about “people like him”. These reports said Saul did many bad things in Jerusalem. This is the last person who deserved help. God sent Ananias anyway and God chose Saul anyway. Both men are called to account – Ananias to live up to the principles Jesus set for his followers, Saul to a future where he atones regularly for his mistreatment of Christians early on.
- Imagine Jesus was the one saying these words from Acts to you. How would you receive it differently? What you like to ask Jesus about?
- We are told faith requires works – you have to act on it. How have you acted on your faith this week?
