"And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests? But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ."
Today's short lesson simply confirms the astonishing and total conversion of Saul (Paul), the man Jesus hand selected to be the apostle to the Gentiles. The lesson also relates the amazement of those Jews who knew Saul to be the most vile persecutor of Christians.~
