Paul was the most eager and venomous enemy of the early church. He persecuted all he could until he was blinded by a brilliant light, showing how blind he was to the Truth. He was transformed into a brilliant light of Christ and anyone else can be too.
Acts 9:1-5 (TLB) 1 But Paul, threatening with every breath and eager to destroy every Christian, went to the High Priest in Jerusalem. 2 He requested a letter addressed to synagogues in Damascus, requiring their cooperation in the persecution of any believers he found there, both men and women, so that he could bring them in chains to Jerusalem.3 As he was nearing Damascus on this mission, suddenly a brilliant light from heaven spotted down upon him! 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Paul! Paul! Why are you persecuting me?”5 “Who is speaking, sir?” Paul asked. And the voice replied, “I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting! 6 Now get up and go into the city and await my further instructions.”
