Welcome to Part 3 of Acts 9. Last time we saw Saul’s life changed, he was given the Holy Spirit to proclaim Christ and was able to see again. Let’s Adore Him. Christ our Lord and Savior. This time a little more about what he did while in Damascus.
Lord Jesus, lead us. Reveal the fact that You are our Savior and Messiah and for Your divine power having bestowed on us [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, through true and personal knowledge of You who called us by Your own glory and excellence.(2Peter1:3) Bless You, Lord, praise be all Yours.
Saul Begins to Preach Christ
Please read Acts 9:19b-22
19bFor several days [afterward] Saul remained with the disciples who were at Damascus. 20 And immediately he began proclaiming Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “This Man is the Son of God [the promised Messiah]!” 21 All those who heard him continued to be amazed and said, “Is this not the man who in Jerusalem attacked those who called on this name [of Jesus], and had come here [to Damascus] for the express purpose of bringing them bound [with chains] before the chief priests?” 22 But Saul increased in strength more and more, and continued to perplex the Jews who lived in Damascus by examining [theological evidence] and proving [with Scripture] that this Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed).
This Jesus…Adore Him
The same Jesus who was and is and is to come. This is the One we praise. The One we adore. This is the One who is closer than our next breath. If you belong to Him, you have no reason to fear. Have confidence, if you have Him, you have all you need. Gather with His people and worship Him every day. If you’re here, you are with one of His people. I’m so glad you’ve come.
