TOPIC – SAUL MEETS THE SAVIOUR
MEMORY VERSE: “And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks” (Acts 9:5).
TEXT: ACTS 9: 1-9
William Booth had this to say about true conversion: “To get a man soundly saved, it is not enough to put on him a pair of new breeches, to give him regular work, or even to give him a university education. These things are all outside a man, and if the inside remains unchanged you have wasted your labour. You must in some way or other graft upon the man’s nature a new nature, which has in it the element of the Divine.”
This is the true picture of the personality our text of today reveals. Saul was a man trained and educated in the Jewish tradition. As a student of law, Saul was knowledgeable and zealous in his espoused lifestyle, religion and education. He pleased his nation in his zeal for the persecution of Christ and His followers. Then he met his Saviour and He changed his inner nature. Your achievements are meaningless without salvation from the Saviour. Meet Christ today in repentance for salvation. He will cleanse your heart and make you wholly free.
QUOTE: He changed his inner nature.
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, give me a renewed heart and life.
CHALLENGE: Meet the Saviour, the life Changer.
