Our verse for the day is from chapter 9 of the book of the Acts of the Apostles. This book is dynamic – it is full of action and drama beginning with the Risen Christ being taken up into heaven - the Holy Spirit coming upon the believers at Pentecost – life changing encounters which people had as their faith was challenged and strengthened.
As he travelled to Damascus, Saul who had been a persecutor of the believers had a dramatic personal encounter with Jesus whom he didn’t initially recognize. He asked Jesus who he was - the answer was given in a form which Saul would clearly understand from his own experience. Having identified himself to Saul, Jesus then instructed him to go into the city where he would be told what he had to do next. Saul was on a journey not only in physical distance – but also a journey into what for him was a new living faith – and what Jesus did was to tell him to take it step by step – one thing at a time. Isn’t that what Jesus asks of us as we seek to follow and serve him in our lives of faith – to know who he is – to hear his call – to go with him in the way and in the time that he directs us.
