Song # 2121 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. In the Book of Acts we read in chapter 22 about Saul and Ananias, as Saul - now Paul, speaks to the crowd.
About noon as Saul came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around him (Acts 22:6). Saul fell to the ground and he heard a voice say “Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?” (Acts 22:7). “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting” Jesus replied (Acts 22:8). Saul’s companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of Him who was speaking to Saul (Acts 22:9). “What shall I do, Lord?” Saul asked. “Get up” the Lord said “and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do” (Acts 22:10). Saul’s companions led him by the hand into Damascus, because the brilliance of the light had blinded him (Acts 22:11). A man named Ananias came to see Saul. He was a devout observer of the law and highly respected by all the Jews living there (Acts 22:12). Ananias stood beside Saul and said “Brother Saul, receive your sight!” And at that very moment Saul was able to see Ananias (Acts 22:13).
Thought for today: when God forgives He restores the soul.
Thought for the future: for eternal life, it’s not what you know, but who you know. Where will you spend your eternity?
