Thoughts on the Conversion of Saul to Paul
Posted by admin on Mar 13, 2010 in Bible Studies, Blog • 2 commentsSaul was misinformed and acting out of anger.
He was hurting others who disagreed with him.
His circumstances changed suddenly.
He acknowledged the lordship of the One speaking to him.
He learned that he was fighting against God.
His companions were silenced by God’s presence.
There was a period of silence (testing) during which he could have rationalized it all away.
He became worse off (physically) than he was before he met Jesus: confusion, darkness, lack of direction.
He used this time of testing as a time for consecration.
His answer came through someone he had previously maligned, hated and persecuted.
His vision/dream only showed him part of God’s plan (physical sight).
He was given sight and direction (relation of physical to spiritual).
Jesus, You love John
Jesus, You love Paul
Do you love me?
Lord Jesus, Please be strengthen
To do good works.
I love you, Jesus
The answer to that question is a very loud, “YES!” Jesus loves you as much as He loves anyone else.
