Hey all, the Sunday
school lesson for tomorrow comes from Acts 9:19-31 its titled
“Earning the right to be Heard” The lesson talks about Saul, who
in verse 19 and 20 – had been with the disciples preaching the Good
News of Jesus Christ. In verse 21, the people that heard Saul preach
were amazed and said “is this not the man who made havoc in
Jerusalem amongst those who invoked this name?..” If you read a few
verses prior to tomorrow's lesson you will see that Saul was
persecuting Christians. But on his road to Damascus, the Lord
revealed himself to Saul (Acts 9:3-6) and he changed! Today, some of
us experience people that hold others past against them. They
continuously remind them of how they use to be, or don't believe a
change for God has been made. As you continue to read you will see in
verse 23 that the Jews plotted to kill Saul; even some of the
disciples were afraid when Saul attempted to join them. To God be the
glory, because he always provides a way out! In verse 27 you will see
a man, by the name of Barnabas “took Saul, brought him to the
apostles, and described for them how on the road he had seen the
Lord, who had spoken to him, and how he had spoken boldly in the name
of Jesus” Sometimes, God puts people in our lives at the right time
– to love and stand up for us. No one is perfect, and we fall short
at times, but as Christians we are to encourage each other. God is in
the business of transforming lives every day. We should seek to care
and pray for each other regardless of the past. If God can forgive
people for their sins, then so should we.
God bless and be heard!
