Open the eyes!

...the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Acts 26:17b-18

This is Jesus' declaration to Paul of what he was called to do. He was sent to the Gentiles with specific tasks:

To open their eyes...
Eph 3:8-9
Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

To turn them from darkness to light...
1 Pet 2:8
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

And from the power of Satan to God...

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

That they may receive forgiveness of sins...

In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

And inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in Jesus...

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Acts 26:22-23
Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
