The Conversion Of Saul

ACTS 9: 1 -19 • Saul of Tarsus swore to wipe out the new Christian church, called The Way. He got letters from the high priest, authorizing him to arrest any followers of Jesus in the city of Damascus. • On the way to Damcus Saul and his men were struck down by a beam of light from the sky. Saul heard a voice say to him: "Saul, why do you persecute me? " • When Saul asked who was speaking to him, the voice replied, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Now get • up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do. " • • Saul’s men heard the sound but did not see the vision of Christ that Saul did. Saul was blinded by the beam of light.

• • They led him by the hand into Damascus to a man named Judas. For three days Saul was blind and did not eat or drink anything Meanwhile, Jesus appeared in a vision to a disciple in Damascus named Ananias and told him to go to Saul. Ananias was afraid because he knew Saul wanted to persecute against the church. Jesus repeated his command, explaining that Saul was un harmful. Ananias found Saul at Judas' house, praying for help. Ananias laid his hands on Saul, telling him Jesus had sent him to restore his sight and that Saul might be filled with the Holy Spirit. Some thing like scales fell from Saul's eyes and he could see again. He arose and was baptized into the Christian faith. Saul ate, regained his strength, and stayed with the Damascus disciples three days.
