Have You Had an Encounter With Jesus?

Saul on route to Damascus had an encounter with Jesus which changed his life from that point onwards. As we examine Saul’s personal encounters with Jesus three things will stand out.  First, he saw Jesus; he spoke with him; then he preached in his name.

However, even though Saul had an experience with Jesus the disciples in Jerusalem were still afraid of him. His reputation as a persecutor, and imprisoner of Christians preceded him.

Your personal encounter with Jesus will change you so much that people will start to note the change. Your speech will change. Now you will commence to talk about him. The identical thing happened to Saul.

“And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him,” (Acts 9:29).

Meet for Repentance – Fruits or Works Worthy of Repentance?

Bring Forth "Fruits" Meet For Repentance

Entrance into the Kingdom of God is the same for all nations. It doesn't matter whether we are Jews or Gentiles because we all must repent and turn to God.

And all must do works appropriate for repentance. In other words, our actions must indicate the transformation we have been through.

Note that the Bible didn't say, bring forth therefore, "fruit" meet for repentance.

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).
