Ananias
1. He spent time with Jesus
2. He trusted Jesus

4. He took risks for Jesus

Jesus
· Jesus wanted to intentionally partner with Ananias to awaken Saul
· This is what happened to Saul, and what happens to everyone who makes the decision to follow Jesus:
o …the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For we are not proclaiming ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’s sake. For God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of God’s glory in the face of Jesus Christ. (2 Corinthians 4:4-6 CSB)
