Saul

As I continue to read and understand that Jesus was in me before the beginning of time. (my understanding)

Titus 1:1-2 (ESV) Greeting
1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the sake of the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth, which accords with godliness, 2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began

  It’s all starting to make more and more sense now. Look at Saul and his conversion.

Galatians 1:15-16 (TPT) 15 But then God called me by his grace, and chose me from my birth to be his. 16 He was pleased to unveil his Son in me so that I would proclaim him to the peoples of the world. After I had this encounter, I kept it a secret for some time, sharing it with no one.

Acts 9:3 (TPT) 3 So he obtained the authorization and left for Damascus.
Just outside the city, a brilliant light flashing from heaven suddenly exploded all around him.

Acts 9:17 (ESV) 17 So Ananias departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”

What I love about this passage is the word “sight” in Greek is translated from g0308. ἀναβλέπω anablepō; from 303 and 991; to look up; by implication, to recover sight: — look (up), see, receive sight.

The scales fell from his eyes and the Jesus that was in him from the beginning while he was persecuting God’s people was revealed.  He became aware just like I did on January 1st 2002

Do you remember the day the scales fell off of your eyes and you looked up for the first time and received your sight?
