Two thousand years ago, a religious Jewish man named Saul was persecuting the early church. He opposed the message of Christianity and believed that Jesus was a false prophet. Then he met Jesus.
Key Points:
- After being blinded on the road by Jesus, he met Ananias and was baptized.
- Paul devoted his life to Jesus Christ. The persecutor became the sufferer.
Quote This:
Philippians 3:5-6 I was circumcised when I was eight days old. I am a pure-blooded citizen of Israel and a member of the tribe of Benjamin—a real Hebrew if there ever was one! I was a member of the Pharisees, who demand the strictest obedience to the Jewish law. I was so zealous that I harshly persecuted the church. And as for righteousness, I obeyed the law without fault.
