Scripture Union Daily Guide 3rd June 2025 Outline
Many fierce opponents of the gospel today still behave like Saul (Acts 9:1-2). Disciples of the Way are being persecuted, imprisoned, tortured, and put to death in many countries by viciously determined and violent extremists. How do you feel towards such aggressive men and women?
Observe how Jesus disrupts Saul’s murderous journey in the most dramatic way possible (Acts 9:3-4). How do you understand Jesus’ disturbing question in Acts 9:4? What a shock for Saul to realise that in being ‘zealous for God’ by attacking the disciples of Jesus, he is in fact fighting God!
Saul, a leader full of assurance, is now neutralised and blinded and must be led by the hand as he obeys Jesus’ command (Acts 9:8). With this sudden divine encounter, Saul’s life is completely turned around. Spiritually blinded by hatred, he now physically enters a world of darkness for three days but he is humbled by this experience (Acts 9:9). How does the fact that Saul was supernaturally stopped in persecuting the Church encourage you today as you face your own challenges? Nothing is impossible to God!
And So:
Numerous enemies of the Lord who persecute and torment His disciples are strongly and sincerely convinced of doing God a favour. However, they are sadly going the wrong way. Jesus rescued Saul from the path to perdition out of love. How about praying for them as you become aware that Jesus loves them and died for them as well?
