THE EARLY CHURCH
Part 10: The Conversion of Saul |
|
|
Saul was ambushed by Jesus on the outskirts of
Damascus and questioned about his motives. The persecutor was
stunned to learn that he was actually a servant of Satan! Saul
prayed and fasted and wrestled over the revelation that Jesus is the
Messiah for three agonizing days. As a Pharisee, he had never
witnessed the supernatural and it was certainly unusual to be given
a vision of Ananias restoring his sight. The conversion was so
dramatic that Saul soon started preaching Christ crucified. This
brought the wrath of the renegade Jews in Damascus and Christians
snuck him out of the city. He visited Jerusalem to meet with the
apostles and they were reticent, thinking it was some kind of trick.
It was not until Barnabas personally vouched for Saul that the
church leadership finally accepted him as a brother in Christ. Then
his former colleagues threatened his life and Saul was shipped home
to Tarsus. |
