We often call this story the “conversion of Saul,”
The Pharisees believed that God had withdrawn His blessing from Israel because of their sins, and that when they became sufficiently righteous again , God would bless them again by expelling the Roman occupiers from their land and giving them their nation back.
Saul was struck blind.
The vision of light blinded his vision, and the revelation of truth struck his mind numb. He had three days in which to let this truth settle into his heart and his mind, and when his sight was miraculously restored and the scales finally fell away from his eyes, he knew that the God he thought he was serving and this Jesus that he was fighting against were actually one and the same – that is, this Jesus was the promised Messiah, and was God in human flesh.
But Paul clearly was converted to Jesus.
It would be the saddest thing for someone to spend years – or their whole life – in the church and never have a conversion experience , never give their heart to Jesus.
Even if you have been a Christian for a long time, however, there continues to be room in our lives for conversion.
What the world and each person in it needs is a spiritual rebirth, a come-to-Jesus moment . "God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself" (1 Cor. 15)."
Jesus is the Lord of life and the true hope of the world.
Today Christ is giving each of us the opportunity to give our lives to Him, to be converted anew to the love and the lordship of Jesus .
