DEVOTIONAL
But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.” (Acts 9:15-16)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Saul is promised he will suffer for Christ’s sake. As it goes for Paul, it goes for the whole Church. As our Master suffered we will, too, because we are His body. That means the Christian Church isn’t a “nice” place to hang out, not if it’s about preaching Christ. In the Church when we speak of Christ we inevitably speak about affliction, the yoke of grief, and God’s goodness and compassion which are new every morning. But this isn’t a message people can call “nice.” And why would they? The message of the cross is about affliction, grief, disgrace, compassion, and God’s goodness which is only revealed to us in the midst of suffering and conflict. It’s a word of death and resurrection. It announces that to be raised up into the new creation we don’t need to be nice, good, holy, smart, accountable, or even faithful—we need only to be dead. How could it not meet with resistance outside and inside a church who can count the cost of being “nice,” but for whom God suffering, dead, and raised from death has no value?
The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, both outside the Church and to those who think they are Christians but trust in themselves. But the Gospel, the Good News of the forgiveness of sins given in Christ, is what brought a man who trusted in himself, Saul, to be a preacher of the Savior in whom the world is called to trust. The Church celebrates St. Paul, not because he accomplished something great, but because the Lord could bring death and resurrection even to such a guy as Saul, to make him dead to himself but alive for the preaching of this Good News to the world.
Therefore, with St. Paul and all the saints, “be patient and hope for the salvation of the LORD … For the LORD will not reject you forever, but first He afflicts you, then He has compassion according to His abundant goodness” (Lamentations 3:26). In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
Lord Jesus, think on me, By anxious thoughts oppressed; Let me Your loving servant be And taste Your promised rest. (Lord Jesus, Think on Me, LSB 610:2)
