This is probably the most dramatic conversion story in the Bible! The greatest enemy of the Christians becomes the greatest missionary of the Gospel! Saul the persecutor becomes Paul the apostle! Saul had already been responsible for Stephen's death and had been arresting both men and women Christians in Jerusalem. (This was especially cruel because he deprived children of their mothers.) Now he wanted to go outside Israel and arrest Jews who had deserted their faith and become Christians in Damascus. Damascus was 130 miles from Jerusalem, a six- or seven-day trip at that time. Just as he was about to enter Damascus, Jesus met him in a great light. Isn't it just like God to wait until the last minute?
