<p>9:13 <i>But Ananias answered: Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he did</i>- In typical human style, Ananias assumes he knows the situation down here on earth better than the Lord, whom he perceived as we do in our weakness to be somewhat distant and ignorant. But we locals do not in fact see the full picture at all... and this is where faith comes in.</p><p><i>To your saints at Jerusalem</i>- 'Saint' means a holy one, but holiness also carries the sense of separation <em>unto</em> as well as separation <em>from</em>. The Hebrew idea is of consecration. The believers there were consecrated by the Lord Jesus unto specific service. And it is in this sense that we are all saints- we all have a specific service which we are commissioned to perform in the Lord's service.</p>
