Acts Ch. 9

This chapter of Acts is a defining moment in the spreading of the Gospel. Saul, the persecutor of Christians, goes blind by God's grace to teach Saul a lesson. Saul is then lead by his friends to Damascus. He is blind for 3 days and nights before Ananias comes to pray with him and bring forth the Holy Spirit. Ananias was lead by Jesus in a dream. Saul immediately becomes baptised and starts proclaiming the name of Christ. Christians are scared of him and the Jews wanted to kill him. Saul finds himself in the middle of two worlds. It's a good thing Barnabas is around to help Saul find his way.
