Today's Reading:
Acts 9:5-8
5 “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. 6 “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” 7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. 8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.

So they led him by the hand into Damascus.
Consider This:
- What does Jesus tell Saul?
- How is Saul persecuting Jesus?
- What does this tell you about how Jesus sees His relationship to you?
- Why does Jesus leave Saul in this “blind” condition?
- Why does Jesus put Saul at the mercy of the Christians?
- What does Saul learn from this? Has God ever left you in a difficult position?
- What did you learn?
Treasure Application:
- Did Saul exemplify loving others before his Damascus road experience?
- Does Saul appear to be a man living out a life in God’s joy?
- Who models love for Saul?
- Could Saul ever discover joy after hurting so many people?
