Because Saul Teaches Jesus Christ is Son of God Disciples let him Down a Wall in a Basket

The opportunity to preach or teach Jesus Christ as the Son of God is never far from us.

All of the early disciples experience this. The First Century Church experienced persecution for this sole reason. They preached and taught that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

And when [Saul] had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus,” (Acts 9:19).

Now it’s Saul of Tarsus’ opportunity to turn the tables. He consented to the death of Stephen as he preached Jesus.

However, he is about to begin his apostolic ministry by doing the identical thing. He too shall preach that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. What does this mean, that he is the Son of God? 

And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God,” (Acts 9:20).

The Disciples of Jesus Christ Must Go – Exterminate Them!

Saul wasn’t content with just a personal desire to exterminate the disciples of Jesus Christ, but he also wishes to make it legal and acceptable. So, “... Saul, yet breathing out [threats] and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,” (Acts 9:1).

Who are the Disciples of Jesus Christ?

Are all Christians disciples of Jesus Christ? However, we need not guess. Jesus tells us who qualify as his disciples. First, for us to become disciples of Jesus Christ we must hear, receive, and believe his Word. We cannot be his disciples and never hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, or remain unbelievers. "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed",(John 8:31). Second, we must "continue in" the Word of Jesus Christ. The Word is not our thoughts. It's not our pastors' opinion. As a matter of fact, it's nobody's opinion.

Deacon Stephen Tells a Story

Deacon Stephen continues to narrate the history of the Children of Israel to the religious people of his time. He plans to take his story to the point where he could preach Jesus Christ, the Son of God to them. Today, let’s continue with our Book of Acts, Bible Study as the first deacon, Stephen, continues to preach Jesus Christ to the Jews. Our major Bible reference is Acts 7:8-18. So, naturally, Deacon Stephen starts his account with their forefather Abraham. As a result, he tells us that God “gave [Abraham] the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs” (Acts 7:8).

A Promise of Better Land For Posterity

Sometimes the promise of God may seem anything but a promise. The Lord promised Abraham the land, yet He wouldn’t allow him “to set his foot on” it, (Acts 7:5).

Would You Consider a Promise That Would Take 400 Years to Come True?

Additionally, not only did the Lord promise Abraham the land but also his posterity. But at that time he had no children.
