📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Acts, Saul, a zealous Pharisee who was actively persecuting early Christians, experienced a life-changing encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus that left him temporarily blind. God then gave Saul a vision of a disciple named Ananias who would come to lay hands on him and restore his sight, as part of a larger divine plan to redirect Saul's life. This event highlights the early church's expansion and God's use of ordinary people in extraordinary ways.
