Basket

Scripture Passage: Acts 9:22-25

Baskets can be used for many things. This time a basket was used to save a preacher's life. When Saul began to preach to people of other nations, they changed his name to Paul. If his life had not been saved, he would not have preached the gospel to the Gentiles. He could not have written those thirteen books of the New Testament which teach us so much about living for Jesus.

Questions:
1. How was a basket used to save Paul's life?
The people lowered Paul in a basket over the wall around the city.
2. Without their help, what would have happened to Paul?
He would have been killed.
3. What did Paul write that is a help to us today?
He wrote thirteen books of the New Testament.


Memory verse: Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes--Jews first and also Gentiles. (NLT)
