The call of God may
come under greatly diverse circumstances:
Matthew from the tax office
Mark 2:13-14
13 Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd
came to him, and he began to teach them.
14 As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at
the tax collector's booth. “Follow me,” Jesus told him, and Levi got up and
followed him.
Saul while persecuting the church
Acts 9:1-9
1 Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats
against the Lord's disciples. He went to the high priest
2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues in
Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or
women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
3 As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from
heaven flashed around him.
4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul,
Saul, why do you persecute me?”
5 “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are
persecuting,” he replied.
6 “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what
you must do.”
7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they
heard the sound but did not see anyone.
8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he
could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.
9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink
anything.
