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. '

1. Paul again addresses Jesus as "Lord" with knowledge of who he is. I am not sure that Paul is calling him Lord in the sense of submission, but it is still out of respect.

2. "What shall I do?"

1. Many would say, "Nothing. Jesus did it all. There is nothing for you to do."

2. Others would say, "We are saved by grace, not by works."

3. Jesus did not teach this. There IS something Paul must do.

1. He must go into Damascus and wait.

2. Someone will bring him the message of what must be done.

4. There is more. Not only would Paul be told what to do for his salvation. He would also be told what the plan of God was for him.
