Today’s Scripture readings give us some lessons which we can adopt in our day to day lives and three of them are given below:
- When Jesus said we have to eat his flesh and drink his blood in order to have eternal life, the Jews got confused. They started having doubts about Jesus. But, he did not withdraw it. The truth is the truth. After all faith is believing something which you have not seen or do not understand. Everything we cannot understand is not false or wrong.
- Jesus must have waited to talk to Saul. Stephen must have set the background with the way he faced death and forgave the persecutors. When someone with whom we do not agree, challenges our views to the point we start doubting our views, we normally get angry. That could be the reason why Saul started breathing murderous threats against the followers of Christ, after the death of Stephen. Thanks to Stephen, Jesus called Saul and introduced himself, so that Saul became one of his biggest instruments in spreading the Good News, as Paul. Even our misfortunes can be used by God to bless others.
- Ananias did what many of us do in our prayers - advising God what to do. When Jesus asked him to go to Saul and lay his hands on him, Ananias started to explain who Saul was and how dangerous it was. What we really have to do is to just obey God without asking questions or expressing our views, because He is always right.
