Acts 9:1-19 Saul's conversion is always amazing to read about! God was able to turn this man around from persecutor of The Way, to a follower of The Way! This section of verses reminds me of Genesius, and his story as well. Isn't it amazing how God uses the most unlikely of people to do His will?! Imagine the courage it took for Ananias to go to Saul.
Acts 9:20-31 Saul was very passionate after his conversion. He immediately risked his own life preaching in the name of Jesus. He did not lay back and be quiet about his faith, but was loud and insistent. He proclaimed the truth of Christ wherever he went. The disciples didn't believe Saul at first. Wouldn't it be really hard. But again this seems to be because the world teaches us fear. With God we are not given a spirit of fear. In His name we can go forth boldly and claim Christ as the savior of the world!
Acts 9:32-43 This first miracle Peter works he very clearly says that it is Jesus who does the healing. He does not even hint that any of the healing power comes from himself, but gives all the glory to God. The second miracle displays the power of prayer! Our God is quite amazing is he not!?!
Acts 10 I believe this chapter is hard to split up into smaller sections. It is an overall picture of God's love for each and every one of us, even those who appear to be lesser (the gentiles). We are all chosen by God and receive His spirit when we make our decision for Him. Isn't it so wonderful that He wants even us!!!
