Acts 22:4
I persecuted this Way to death, binding both men and women and delivering them to prison.

Before becoming Saint Paul…he was known as Saul…a persecutor of Christians in the name of God. Saul thought he was doing God’s work by rounding up followers of the “Way”…the name of the early Christian movement…and throwing them into prison. Some were undoubtedly put to death. Saul encountered the resurrected Christ in some mystical way…and his heart was changed. Saul was basically a terrorist. No wonder Jesus tells us to love our enemies. If Saul had been killed…it would have prevented one of the greatest conversions in history from taking place…and we would not have the writings of one of the greatest evangelists to ever live. What other amazing conversion stories are waiting to take place…in God’s time? Could it be yours? We’re all on the path to conversion…completion…and salvation!
