"And when the blood of your martyr Stephen was shed, I stood there giving my approval and guarding the clothes of those who were killing him." Acts 22: 20
What I heard from Jesus today is: Why Saul didn't stone Stephen?
The Lord gave a challenging question today and I don't have an answer. There are quite a number of possibilities why Saul didn't stone Stephen.
Three verses after the Bible describes the death of Stephen (Acts 7: 60) Paul became a leader to destroy arresting people and putting them to prison or even to their death (Acts 22: 4). So why Saul didn't stone Stephen but just guarding the clothes of those who stoned Stephen?
If Saul could be changed to Paul anyone can be changed! Do we as Christians give chance to those people like Saul by not condemning them and give them a space to become Paul?
This is a challenge of changing of lifestyle - A lifestyle of Christlikeness. Jesus never stopped to love and gave chance to Judah. The lifestyle changes that I am call to change myself after receiving Jesus challenging question are:
1. From judgemental to sacrificial
2. From darkness to light
3. From hopeless to hopeful
4. From stoning to accepting
Do you have more?
God is good, all the time! Can we be more like God?
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help me to have those changes of lifestyle that I can be able to help more Saul to become Paul. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
