Acts 9:17-19

I cannot imagine the relief that Ananias and Saul felt at the end of this. Ananias was worried that he was going to be killed. Saul was worried that he would be blind forever. It's amazing how much your life changes when you encounter God. It makes you think about all the stuff you did before. Your impurity stands in sharp contrast to God's holiness. It's an extremely humbling and grateful position. JM

Matthew 10:21-25

I love the idea that Jesus set the example of how we should live. Did you catch that? Jesus is the example of how we should live. So we have the potential to live just as holy of a life as he lived. Wouldn't that be incredible? To have that kind of holiness?
I hope one day I can get there. "A student should be satisfied to become like his teacher." Yeah, that will definitely be satisfying. I just don't want to have to wait until heaven to be holy. JM
