Silent About the Lamb


We live and speak in social caution — correctness — in a way that nullifies Christ.


We need to realize, as Apostle Paul did, to "eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death” (Philippians 1:20).


Read his story of an encounter with Christ. Paul was practicing – living and speaking – within the correctness of Pharisaism. He carried out the persecution of all who were followers of Christ. In Acts 9 we see a transformation of Paul. That change begins with his being thrown down off his horse and by hearing Jesus' challenge. Then, with physical blindness he realized his blindness of God and the Son of Man, Jesus. 

By experiencing blindness, the restoration of sight was not merely of the sun’s light, mere human vision, but he gained vision by the Light, seen only in his Messiah – Jesus Christ, of whom he spoke boldly through the remainder of his life.  


Pray and Witness,
Owen
