And Ananias is no dummy. He knows who this Saul character is. And Jesus says, listen, I want you to go pray for this man. Jesus wants to partner with his church. He wants to partner with other people to recruit people to be followers of him. Jesus could have just showed up to Paul on the road to Damascus, blinded him with the light and said, Paul, listen, here's who I am, here's what's gonna happen, here's what you're gonna do, and lay out his entire life for him. And yet Jesus doesn't do that. He partners with his church to bring about the conversion of Paul and to set him off on a new journey to help transform his life 180 degrees. God continues to partner with his people to bring about change.
