Today we read Acts 9. This is a most interesting chapter because Jesus meets Saul, the evil persecutor of Christians about whom we read yesterday. As punishment for his evil deeds, Jesus blinds Saul for three days. In the meantime, Saul is sent to Damascus, where he is baptized. Saul now has the Holy Spirit in him, and he proclaims Jesus in the same synagogues in which he had once railed against them. Saul will later receive a new name–Paul–and will go on to write most of the New Testament. This conversion gives us hope that some of the greatest enemies of Christ today might yet be converted. Nothing is impossible for Jesus Christ!
