ACTS 22:7-16 7
“And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why
are you persecuting Me?’ 8
So I answered, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of
Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.’ 9
And those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they
did not hear the voice of Him who spoke to me.
10 So I said, ‘What shall I
do, Lord?’ And the Lord said to me, ‘Arise and go into Damascus, and there
you will be told all things which are appointed for you to do.’
11 And since I could not
see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were
with me, I came into Damascus. 12
Then a certain Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good
testimony with all the Jews who dwelt there,
13 came to me; and he stood
and said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight.’ And at that same hour I
looked up at him. 14
Then he said, ‘The God of our fathers has chosen you that you should know
His will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice of His mouth.
15 For you will be His
witness to all men of what you have seen and heard.
16 And now why are you
waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’
Is the above true?
See
Acts 9
and
Saul on the road to Damascus.
What is Paul describing above?
How he met Jesus. He is giving his 'personal testimony.'
Isn't personal testimony of how we met Jesus personal?
It is, but not confidential.
With whom should personal testimony be shared?
Everyone: "Always be ready to give a defense to
everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness
and fear" (1 Peter 3:15). Telling people who Jesus is
and how we met Him is the privilege, duty and joy of every Christian.
How did you meet Jesus?
