F1TZWATER. I>. D.. Mem ber of Faculty, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) ((c). 1930. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for December 1.4 SAUL OF TARSUS: HOW A PHARI SEE BECAME A CHRISTIAN LESSON TEXT—Acts 22:3-15. GOLDEN TEXT—Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the ex cellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suf fered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ. PRIMARY TOPIC—An Enemy Who Became a Friend. JUNIOR TOPIC—An Enemy Who Be came a Friend. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—What It Means to Be a Christian. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Conversion: Its Nature and Ef fect. I. Saul’s Training as a Pharisee (vv. 3, 4). 1. Taught to love his own nation. (“I am a Jew.”) The Pharisees were the nationalists of their day. Safil being a strict Pharisee was a patriot. 2. Taught to love God’s Law. ‘‘Taught according to the perfect man ner of the law of the fathers.” Love for the Bible is a valuable asset in life. One may misinterpret the Bible and dangerously misapply it, but if there is love for it, he may yet come into right relation to it. 3. “Was zealous toward God.’* The root meaning of the word “zealous” is “to boil.” It signifies a passion for God and his work. 4. Was conscientious (Acts 20:9. 10). Saul was conscientious in his opposition to Jesus. He regarded Jesus as an imposter. While Saul is to be cortdemned for his attitude toward Jesus, he is to be praised for responding to the dictates of his con science. Conscience is the law of life for every man, but should be regu lated by God’s Word. II. Saul’s Burning Hatred of Jesus (vv. 4, 5, cf. Acts 9:1, 2). He knew full well that unless the movement set on foot by Jesus was stopped it would supersede Judaism. However, he was entirely ignorant of th§ genius of Christianity. He did not know that “the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.” Stephen’s noble display of faith intensified Saul’s hatred of Jesus. It made him more determined than ever to stamp put the Nazarene heresy. / III. Saul Kicking Against the Pricks (vv. 6-11). The figure here is of an eastern ox driver following the animal with a sharp iron attached to a pole. The ox is prodded along with this instru ment, and if it is refractory and kicks against this iron, it only injures itself. 1. A light from heaven (v. C). The time had now come for Jesus to inter pose in behalf of his own. Saul is stricken with blindness and falls to the earth. 2. A voice from heaven (v. 7). This * was the voice of Jesus saying. “Why persecutest thou me?” Jesus Christ is so closely identified with believers that he regards treatment of them as • treatment of himself. 3. Saul’s inquiry (vv. 8, 10). “Who art thou. Lord?” “What shall I do. Lord?” The dictator is now willing to he dictated to. 4. A second voice from heaven (vv, 8, 10). In response to Saul’s in quiry, Jesus revealed himself, and in . structed Saul what to do. 5. Saul entering Damascus (v. 11) This hitherto savage persecutor went humbly into the city, led by attendants What went on in his sonl during three days of blindness and fasting we can only surmise. IV. Ananias Ministers to Saul (vv. 12-15). 1. Sent by the Lord (Acts 9:10-12). In a vision the Lord showed him that Saul was now a praying man. The name of Saul’s host and the number of his street were made known to Ananias. 2. Ananias’ hesitancy (Acts 9:13- 10). Knowing Saul’s violent hatred of Jesus, he was afraid to go near him until he received the divine message. 3. Ananias’ message (vv. 13-15). (1) “Brother Saul, receive thy sight.” (v. 13). Sight was given. (2) “The God of our fathers hath chosen thee” (v. 14). This choice was for three things: a. “That thou shouldest know his will.” This is true of every one chosen by the Lord. b. “And see that Just One.” The sight of Jesus Christ transformed Saul’s life. c. “And hear the voice of his mouth.” How won derful that even a savage persecutor should come to hear the voice of Jesus. (3.) “Thou shalt be his witness uhto all men of what thou hast seen and heard” (v. 15). Choice Is With God Wretches that we are! to be keep ing up jealousies of our Lord, when we should be rejoicing In his love. As if any man could choose Christ be fore Christ hath chosen him; or any man were more willing to be happy than Christ Is to make him happy.— Baxter.
