Saul's Conversion on the Road to Damascus
April 30, 2028
Overview & Insights
"Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" (Acts 9:4)
Still breathing threats against the disciples, Saul is confronted by a blinding light and the voice of the risen Jesus on the road to Damascus, and is led blind into the city to wait. Ananias, sent by the Lord despite his fear of Saul's reputation, restores his sight and baptizes him, and Saul begins at once to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues.
