Summary

Acts 9:10-19

In this episode of our "Hidden Gems" series, we delve into the remarkable story of Ananias, a disciple in Damascus, who is instructed by God to visit Saul (later known as Paul). Saul, notorious for persecuting Christians, has been blinded following his dramatic encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. Despite knowing Saul's fearsome reputation, Ananias obeys God's command and what happens? Saul gets baptized; setting Saul on a new path as a follower of Jesus.

Key Takeaways:

Obedience to God: Ananias' willingness to follow God's command, despite his fear, shows his trust in God.
Kindness to Opponents: Showing kindness to those who oppose us can be a powerful testament to our faith and can lead to remarkable changes.
God's Plan: God's plans often involve using unexpected people for extraordinary purposes, as seen in Saul's conversion to Paul.
