So what is the Lord saying? "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him
of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? and how shall they preach, except they
be sent?" So are we sent to preach the gospel, that they may hear and believe and call on Him who hears the
prayer of a repentant heart.
Have you not heard? "The effectual prayer of a righteous man avails much." Who was Ananias? A "...disciple in
Damascus..."; perhaps the least of the disciples, who would preach the gospel to the man who was to be regarded as the
greatest among the apostles! |
