Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Acts 9:1

Acts GRACE TRIUMPHANT Act_9:1 - Act_9:12 ; Act_9:17 - Act_9:20 . This chapter begins with ‘but,’ which contrasts Saul’s persistent hatred, which led him to Gentile lands to persecute, with Philip’s expansive evangelistic work. Both men were in profound earnest, both went abroad to carry on their work, but the one sought to plant what the other was eager to destroy. If the ‘but’ in Act_9:1 contrasts, the ‘yet’ connects the verse with Act_8:3 . Saul’s fury was no passing outburst, but... read more

Acts GRACE TRIUMPHANT ‘THIS WAY’ Act_9:2 . The name of ‘Christian’ was not applied to themselves by the followers of Jesus before the completion of the New Testament. There were other names in currency before that designation-which owed its origin to the scoffing wits of Antioch-was accepted by the Church. They called themselves ‘disciples,’ ‘believers, ‘saints,’ ‘brethren,’ as if feeling about for a title. Here is a name that had obtained currency for a while, and was afterwards disused. We... read more

Mark - Acts GRACE TRIUMPHANT LOVE’S QUESTION Mar_10:51 . - Act_9:6 . Christ asks the first question of a petitioner, and the answer is a prayer for sight. Saul asks the second question of Jesus, and the answer is a command. Different as they are, we may bring them together. The one is the voice of love, desiring to be besought in order that it may bestow; the other is the voice of love, desiring to be commanded in order that it may obey. Love delights in knowing, expressing, and fulfilling... read more

Winning a Persecutor Acts 9:1-9 A year had passed since Acts 8:3 . “The Way” had become the accepted phrase for the infant Church and its presentation of the truth, Acts 19:9 ; Acts 22:4 . It may refer to the course of life the Christians pursued, or to their method of getting right with God-not by the deeds of the Law, but by their faith in Christ, Romans 10:5-10 . Compare with this narrative Acts 26:13 ; Acts 22:6 . Saul’s companions saw the light and heard a noise, but did not see the... read more
