Acts: What Shall I Do, Lord?

Title: What Shall I Do, Lord?

Text: Acts 22:1-16

Big Idea: God calls everyone to know Jesus Christ, and to make him known.

Outline:

1) I was zealous for God, just as you are. (vv. 1-5)

Question to consider: If zeal doesn’t equal truth, what might you be wrong about?

2) I was opposing Jesus, just as you have. (vv. 6-10)

Question to consider: What would a radical conversion look like in your life?

3) I needed the Righteous One, just as you do. (vv. 11-16)

Question to consider: Do you perhaps have an appointment with God today?

God tells us, over and over again, to focus our starving souls on the superb reality of who He is, what He is doing, and what He promises to do for all who trust in Him.

And God’s invitation to glory in Him is nowhere more explicit than in the repeated command to ‘Behold.’

Justin O. Huffman invites us to meditate on ten of the occasions the command ‘Behold’ is used in the New Testament, and to feast on the wonderful truth we find there.

“Justin Huffman takes the familiar truths of Christ’s gospel and helps us to view them again with wonder—a sense of glory that both fascinates us and fills us with awe. Here is a book that focuses attention on Jesus and says, ‘Behold your God!’.”
—Joel Beeke

“Behold provides a corrective lens for us to see that there is more to life and invites us to satisfy our deep soul–hunger by feasting on Jesus, the Son of God.”
—Joel Morris
