VBS 2014 Day 5



We learned:
Even when you're afraid....Jesus loves you!

The Bible Story for today is from
Acts 9:1-19
Ananias bravely helps Saul.

During Bible times, many people did not like Christians, and tried to silence them by putting them in jail. One of these people was a powerful man named Saul. He had hurt many Christians, and had gotten permission to punish any Christians he met, when suddenly,he had a powerful vision from God. The Lord asked Saul why he was persecuting Him, and Saul could not answer the question. The Lord told Saul to continue into the city, and to stop hunting down Christians, but first he was blinded.

God wanted to prove his power to Saul by restoring the man’s vision, but He needed someone on earth to work for Him. God chose a man named Ananias to give Saul his sight back, but Ananias was terrified of Saul! Everyone knew that Saul did not like Christians, so Ananias did not want to go near him. But God told Ananias that he would be protected, and that Saul was no longer a bad man. Even though Ananias was very scared to meet Saul, he went to him anyway, because he trusted in God. Sure enough, Saul was nice to Ananias, and Ananias was able to make Saul see again.

Saul was afraid that he would never see again, and Ananias was afraid that Saul would hurt him, but the Lord helped both of them, because even when you’re afraid… Jesus loves you!
