The Witness in Judea and Samaria: Studies in Acts
The Bible Study Hour
He watched the killing of Stephen, the first martyr. He went on to do everything he could to stamp out the newly formed Christian church. We would not expect him to become a convert and a missionary and an apostle, but that is what God did. When Saul met Jesus on the Damascus Road he asked two questions: "Who are you, Lord?" and "What will you have me do?" After Paul knew that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God, the first action he took was to tell others. This is exactly what everyone who wants a vital spiritual life must do. We must know Jesus, and we must tell others.
There truly are no favorites with God. We see how God sent Peter to Cornelius, the gentile, which let Peter and everyone know that the good news was open to all peoples. When Peter went to the gentile centurion Cornelius, and brought him the truth, he believed. Peter didn't require Cornelius to become an Israelite. Instead, Peter ate with the unclean gentiles. When Peter returns to the church at Jerusalem he is questioned about his behavior.
Have you ever prayed for something but didn't truly expect God to answer? Was the situation hopeless? Peter's case looked hopeless. He was personally imprisoned by the king and was heavily guarded. Peter had no chance. Or did he? You will be encouraged by God’s deliverance.
