Six-Inch Sermon
By Rev. Robert H. Harper
BROADENING CHRISTIAN
HORIZONS; PAUL'S
CONVERSION
Lessen for May 18: Acts 9:1-16;
Golden Text: Acts 26:19
That the bitter persecutor
Christians was so soundly convei
ed. even as he drew near to D
mascus. seems quite rcmarkabJ
Some have supposed that the s
blirae resignation ot" Stephen k;
made a profound impression up<
Saul, mat his conscience was a
ready at work and that he had son
misgivings as to his course. Ho\
ever that may be, let it be renter
bered that Saul that cay came fai
to face with the- risen and glorifu
Saviour and heard the voice th
winds and seas and the dead 'n;
obeyed.
It is interesting that a name use
as a svnonvm of bar r.xnu
from its infamy in connection wil
Saul's conversion; Quite differci
from the wretched liar was the goc
man named Ananias living in D.
mascus. whom the Lord sent un
Saul It is not strange that he d<
: murred when he heard the name '
the terrible persecutor, but the Lot
I said unto him concerning Saul. "I
, is a chosen vessel unto me."
The caption of this lesson is si|
i ificaut. Saul's conversation h?
much to do with the broadening <
Christian horizons. Saul, or Pai
(as ho was later known), was U
;'ixs? to see Christianity as a wori
religion and he gave it that cha
ucier in the course of his mighl
labors in chief cities of the Honda
(ftnpire. His was the greatest coi
tributiori ever made toward tl
planning and growth of Christian it
i m the world.
Consider the fact that in doir
what you can for Jesus where vc
are. you are making your ov>
greatest contribution toward broa<
enlng Christian horizons in this da
