Scripture Union Daily Guide 5th June 2025 Outline
Saul is now numbered among the disciples of the Way (Acts 9:19b). He came to persecute those who followed Jesus, and now he is the one who proclaims that Jesus is the Son of God (Acts 9:20). What a dramatic transformation! Saul became a new man. The old Saul was gone (c.f. 2 Corinthians 5:17).
Despite all bewildered questions and astonishment, Saul does not deviate from his mission but undertakes it with more passion (Acts 9:22). How about you? How do you carry out your task or mission in the face of pressures or criticisms?
Saul spends three years in Damascus and Arabia (cf. Galatians 1:13-18). His zeal for God even attracts hatred from the Jews and put him in danger of being killed. With this incident began series of suffering for Saul according to Jesus’ word to Ananias (Acts 9:16). From a persecutor, he now becomes the persecuted. But one thing that Saul was assured of is that, amid persecutions, God’s protection and deliverance were there for him. Let that be your assurance too!
And So:
Saul’s message is centred on Jesus. What is your message centred on?
* Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
