WHAT ABOUT PAUL THE APOSTLE?
Paul the apostle was a very devoted servant of the Lord
Jesus Christ. However, this was not always the case.
Paul's history was one of great hostility to the word
of God. Before his conversion to Christianity, he not
only persecuted the Christians, but helped to engineer
the death of Steven a devout Christian.
But Paul came to know Jesus through his failure to love
Jesus. He was on the road to Damascus, with several others
to continue the persecution of Christians, when he saw a bright
light. He fell from his horse and he heard the voice of Jesus.
Jesus asked him why was he persecuting the church. He could
not see. Jesus commanded him to go in to the city and he would
be instructed what to do.
Later a righteous man called Ananias was given a vision and
instructions to go to where Paul was staying and restore his
vision. Even though Ananias was afraid, he did obey and Paul's
vision was restored.
This encounter with Jesus was a valuable lesson for Paul. He
became a sincere follower of Jesus and suffered greatly for
his beliefs. But he was not discouraged and remained faithful
until death. His life is found in the Book of Acts ( in the Bible).
An angel of the Lord appeared on to Mary to let her know that
she was chosen to be the mother of Jesus.
Dear friends ,
We often hear comments about angels, but who knows if they
are real. We celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ each year,
without questioning anything.
Here are some simple facts about angels in the bible:
Luke 1: 26-38, tells about the angel Gabriel who was sent
by God, to a virgin whose name was Mary. He was given
a message for her, that she was selected to be the mother
of Jesus Christ.
In Mathew 1: 1-20, an angel of the lord appeared to Joseph
in a dream , to tell him to take Mary to be his wife, although
she was pregnant. This was done by the supernatural power
of a Mighty God.
