The Witness

"The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know his will, to see the upright One and hear his own voice speaking, because you are to be his witness before all humanity, testifying to what you have seen and heard." (Acts 22: 14)

Ananias communicates to Paul his vocation. Christ had promised Paul: "Get up and go into Damascus, and there you will be told what you have been appointed to do" (Acts 22:10)

• Paul was chosen to know God's will.
  
• Paul was chosen to be a witness to Jesus before all humanity.
  
• Paul was chosen to testify to what he saw and heard.
  

He carried out his life's work admirably through preaching, teaching and writing.

What is my mission? I learn and I teach. Has God really chosen me to be a friend and companion of Jesus? If this is so, God will confirm his call at the appropriate time. Can I appropriate Acts 22: 14? Lord Jesus, I am completely yours. Lead me, guide me and use me. Amen.

"I will open before you a door that no man can shut." (Revelation 3: 8)
