Saul, who was “breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples,” was on his way to Damascus when Jesus directly confronted him. With a blinding light and a voice from heaven, Jesus revealed himself to Saul and transformed his life. Despite all that Saul had done, Jesus accounted for his past, commissioned him for ministry, and united him to Jesus’ body, the Church. We can have the same kind of new beginning in our lives as Saul did.
