2019 Labor Day Conference (2): “Lord, what shall I do”

主題經文Key Verse：

¹⁰ 我說：『主啊，我當做甚麼？』主說：『起來，進大馬士革去，在那裏，要將所派你做的一切事告訴你。』 … ¹² 那裏有一個人，名叫亞拿尼亞…¹³ 他來見我，站在旁邊，對我說：… ¹⁴ …『我們祖宗的 神揀選了你，叫你明白祂的旨意，又得見那義者，聽祂口中所出的聲音。 ¹⁵ 因為你要將所看見的，所聽見的，對著萬人為祂作見證。 ¹⁶ 現在你為甚麼耽延呢？起來，求告祂的名受洗，洗去你的罪。』」(徒22:10-16)

¹⁰ So I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ And the Lord said to me, ‘Arise and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all things which are appointed for you to do.’ ¹¹ And since I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus. ¹² “Then a certain Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good testimony with all the Jews who dwelt there, ¹³ came to me; and he stood and said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight.’ And at that same hour I looked up at him. ¹⁴ Then he said, ‘The God of our fathers has chosen you that you should know His will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice of His mouth. ¹⁵ For you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard. ¹⁶ And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’ (Acts 22:10-16)
