Mommy….Mommy….MOMMY! Have you ever heard a small child who wants to tell their parent something? Even if the parent is busy, the child will continue to shout their name until someone gives them the attention they want. The child thinks whatever they have to say is the most important thing, and they will do anything to get you to listen!
Paul wasn’t shouting for his mommy, but he was continuously shouting the story of how Jesus had saved his life. Paul knew that this was the most important news anyone could hear, so he wanted everyone to listen! God gave Paul the opportunity to share the good news about Jesus with governors and kings. Even when the people tried to stop him, Paul was faithful to tell people about Jesus.
Every follower of Jesus has a great story to tell! Like Paul sharing how Jesus had saved him on the road to Damascus, every believer can use their testimony to tell others about Jesus. Jesus has the power to save, and that’s a story worth sharing!
God had chosen Paul to take the gospel to Gentiles, kings, and the Israelites. Paul met with people again and again to tell the good news about Jesus. He wanted everyone to believe that Jesus is Lord. Because Jesus has the power to save people from sin, Paul was willing to do whatever it took to share the gospel.
