A devotional reflection on Paul’s dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus.
Bible Characters
Encountering Christ changes everything. Paul’s transformation from persecutor to apostle is one of Scripture’s most powerful testimonies of grace. One encounter with the risen Christ shattered his pride, redirected his purpose, and ignited a life of bold ministry. Paul’s story reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of God’s transforming power.
Suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven. (Acts 9:3)
Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? (Acts 9:4)
Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? (Acts 9:6)
