Saul of Tarsus never intended to be baptized in the name of Jesus. As a man passionately opposed to Christianity, he knew the truth of the Gospel yet continued to live a religious life without belief in Christ as Lord. Examining this unlikely candidate for faith, Alistair Begg helps us see how the truly changed heart is one of the most powerful evidences of God’s work in one’s life.
1But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 3Now as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. 4And falling to the ground he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” 5And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. 6But rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.” 7The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one. 8Saul rose from the ground, and although his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. So they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.
