Acts: Insight.

So many interesting things occur in the book of Acts. Yet the one occurrence, or rather process, that takes place that is so astounding is the conversion of Saul. The amazing transformation of this persecutor of the Christian faith and church, to one of the most influential and powerful early Christian leaders is so marvelous. Suddenly, after being healed of his failing eyesight, he was filled with the holy spirit. His vigor for breaking down the church turned to enthusiasm for spreading the love of Jesus and presence of the church. Saul became engulfed in traveling across Israel going between Damascus, Caesarea, Tarsus, and so on. Acts 9:31 attests to his efforts reading, “So the church throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace, being built up and walking in fear of the Lord and in encouragement of the Holy Spirit, and it increased in numbers.” The life of Saul, soon to be known as Paul, is very indicative of the power of God’s transformation in our lives. If He can work so intensely in Saul’s life, then I must trust infallibly in His power to transform the wrongs in my life into efforts for the glory of the Kingdom.
