The Call

(from Acts 22:14-16)

In Acts 22:14-16 Paul recalls his command conversion by the Lord.  He was chosen to know God's will and to see and hear Jesus.  Then he was commanded to become His witness, to rise up and follow Him, with the baptism of repentance, and to bring salvation to all men.

What happened to Paul is similar to God sending His Son to earth, to do His Father's will, hear and speak what His Father commands and doing what His Father says to do.  This was to bring salvation to all of us.

So now, what are we waiting for?  If Jesus didn’t need to be baptized but submitted to the Father to fulfill all things, what’s stopping us?  We need to be baptized into the forgiveness of sin, to receive forgiveness in Jesus' Name!
