tne other two One of the others was a rascally priest and one was a famous liar; but 'his Ananias, another of th.- mtn rai led" characters from the Pblr. is famed for going when G d said. "Go." We know nothing much else about him. but this is enough. • • • No Wonder He Hesitated IT WAS just after th<- conversion |' >'f Saul At the time of our story. i> tody had ever heard of Paul, only of Saul as lie was then called, and nobody heard anything good. | He was a cuter ruthless man. He had no use for Christians Exter- I mination was Ins only answer to the Christian < hallenge The name | of Saul brought terror. i Un this day of our story Saul had , been only three days a Christian , He hid had n thing to eat al) that j time, and he was •aid to be blind You may be sure that Christians stayed away from him His Jerusalem cronies had no doubt given him up as crazy; but n<> Christian would go near him either At this point our Ananias had a vision The Lord told him to go to Saul and lay his hands on him in help and blessing Naturally Ananias held back This was a dangerous man. raid he. But again the Lord in the vision said. "Go." and Ananias v nt Sus ,«■»*• Anamas had said "No"? That might have changed the whole course of Christian history How’ He could have thought of many an excuse "Aren't there other men who can baptize Saul as well as I can’ This whole vision may be < nly n mistake " And so forth But not when it became dear to him that this was God's will. Ananias went, though he still did not bke it. How is it with you? When y<-u know what sou ought to do, what is the first thing you think 1 nf? How to do it, or how to get out nf doing it? • • • Tek'ng Order; From Gad HOW CAN we tell wtien it Is . really God who commands us’ Most Christians today arc suspi , cious of visions and well we may , be Too many crazy things have been ( done by people who saw "visions' ( f< r u- to trust such experience' , very far One way in which God's orders come to us Is in the Word of God, particularly in the words ol Christ For rxampl** take one of (he hardest things Jesus ever said. "LOVE YOFR ENEMIES AND PR SY FOR THOSE WHO PEP.MEC I TE toil." That sounds tough. II is tavgh Itut it is a command Yet don I most of us leave that command in the closed Hibhend act as if the words had never been said? Tliat brings up another question Is it likely that Ananias became fond of Saul all at once’ Hardly Ananias could not have liked th* man; there was then nothing about him to like We know from Paul s own w< rds that people generally were not attracted by hi* looks Yet Ananias, who could not have Lkcd Saul rrurh lets been fond »f him. went and c.ilk-d him brother " and gave him his start in the Christian life • • • Co You Know a Sivl? NOT FAR from where you are sitting at ’h s moment there may be someone like Saul He is a CT ria'tan but a new and «so far* poor on“ maybe Someone nobody beln z<» ib. stwreone you scarcely * knew It may be a child out.of some k.w it.iut home. it ma, ts an ex-drurl'ard <n>H so Ung over it* er an rx-cin-.irt even, perhaps eomecne who ha* actually done yau a w:-mg Bt this pergar may toe wist where Saul W»» need<ng a friend God may already nave touched his heart, all he needs now is the hu mar v-uch of a Christian friend Ma? de you ean't love him ean't evet ltk> him. but if he is a human anui God loves him If yuu ean help him th-n you are hie An anta Yuu kn- w wteat you ought to do Will you do *t» ess C* <yne* toe «• iaienelc.nl CmU aS f >l’»e * *•*■»» w as "MUB* ft4Mt j 'SUl Rfta*4ft#d ft
