In last week’s lesson, we heard the story of Paul’s conversion. When God directed Ananias to go and search for Paul, God told Ananias that he had chosen Paul to bring God’s name to the Gentiles, to kings, and to the Israelites. Following his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, Paul essentially spent the rest of his life fulfilling the mission for which God had chosen him, sharing the good news with everyone he met. The last half of the Book of Acts tells of Paul’s travels.

Even though Paul had been chosen by God to share the good news about Jesus, Paul’s path was not always a smooth one. In today’s Bible story, we hear of a time when Paul’s life was in danger because he had been preaching that Jesus is God’s Son. This story reads like an adventure tale, with Paul escaping down the wall in the middle of the night. And this turns out not to be the last time Paul’s life would be in danger for spreading the gospel. While there seemed to be many people out to get Paul, he inevitably escaped because of the help of others.

It is easy for us today to feel far removed from Paul’s mission. Few of us are called to travel to foreign lands to spread the good news that Jesus is the Messiah. However, it is worthwhile to note that as Paul traveled, he shared the good news with everyone he met. 

We can follow Paul’s example and share the good news with persons we meet, wherever life might take us. Each week as you teach the children about God, you are letting them know that they are children of God. You are following Paul’s example and spreading the good news.

DEEP BLUE ADVENTURES APP
While I was looking for all the new material to share with you about our new unit, I stumbled across this app. I downloaded it for free, and it has all the videos to go along with the Bible story each week. There is a trivia game, a fun scripture game and another maze game that reinforced the verse of the month. It isn’t anything fancy, but I thought I would share if you were looking for new ways to engage your kids with our weekly Bible stories at home. GET IT HERE
