—Acts 9:10-20
by: Dorothy Noel.
Ananias had a scary task before him—restore the sight of a man who had been on the way to arrest him and was not blind a week ago. But the word of the Lord is powerful, and Ananias obeyed, confirming to Saul that Jesus is Lord. Ananias was the vessel used by God to restore Saul’s sight and bring the Holy Spirit to Saul. But he also gave Saul some context. Ananias led Saul in baptism and claimed him as his brother. This kinship in Christ gave Saul a community from which to go out and preach. While our callings may be individual, their confirmation by our church community is important to the work we are called to do.
