But there are 99 of them!
THe one that ran away…had to have someting to run away from and God chases after.
He goes after the lost.
Sincerity and intention don’t matter.
No matter how sincere we are if we are wrong we are wrong.
Paul sincerely wanted to please God and the religious leaders of his day.
When he stood at the Stoning of Stephen he believed what was happening was what God would want.
Tradition was what mattered the most.
Following all the rules was how you pleased God.
The followers of Jesus were doing things differently, they were not keeping the traditions alive in their worship or in their meetings.
They were undermining hundreds of years of the way religion and worship happened.
Paul was sincere in his desire to do what was right, he was just sincerely wrong.
(many times we are the same.)
ii.
I have often said that intention doesn’t matter.
Along with that statement I have also said perception is reality.
To qualify those two statements is not always easy but the bottom line is they are both accurate.
Intentions don’t matter.
(Big Prarie story about hurting my parents feelings)
The Damascus moment.
i. God is trying to get our attention.
1. Intentions don’t matter.
(Big Prarie story about hurting my parents feelings)
1.
If we are honest with ourselves, really honest we know it’s happening.
ii.
Our questions must move us to action.
1. Saul had a choice…we all do.
A shift in perspective.
i.
Not everyone will understand our shift in perspective
ii.
Before we can lead we must be led.
Sure you did.
i. God is quick to forgive and slow to anger, people not so much.
ii.
Staying the course will be difficult but when we see people through the eyes of Christ we won’t really care what others think.
Going regardless.
