On one of the favorite blogs I follow, Kelvin Wright, an Anglican bishop in New Zealand, has some amazing photographs. But even better, he tells thoughtful stories about living as a follower of Jesus. Recently he wrote about an interesting happening over Easter when some visitors showed up (go to “Angels”, Friday, April 9, 2010).
His experience reminds me of the story of Ananias and Paul (Acts 9:10-19) which we hear this Sunday. Ananias listened to God, obeyed God’s risky directions, and in trust depended on God for protection. The result? He met and baptized a man who would become an outstanding evangelist…and the rest is history, our history if we are Christians.
So I’ve been thinking: how were the “angels” that Kelvin Wright talks about being challenged to listen and to trust like Ananias? You’ll have to read the blog link and get out bibles to answer that one.
