128 The Most Powerful Argument—Changed Lives

Acts 9:20-43; Galatians 1:17,18; 2 Corinthians 11:32
TBC Book Two, Chapter 128
The men in the synagogue were stunned. Instead of demanding that the disciples of Jesus be captured and brought to trial, Saul was now declaring that Jesus was the living Son of God.

Saul took that message to every synagogue he entered, and their reaction was always the same. People whispered: “Isn’t that Saul, who raised havoc in Jerusalem, capturing followers of the Way? Wasn’t he the one who came here to arrest those who call on that name?”

Saul the persecutor was now convincing people that Jesus was the Anointed One. His insights developed during a three-year period, when the Lord taught him in the desert of Arabia.

When he returned to Damascus, Paul preached in synagogues to the Hellenistic Jews, proclaiming Jesus as the Christ. Like Stephen, who had argued forcefully to a similar audience, Saul met fierce resistance. Some of the Jews conspired with government officials to have Saul killed. Watching the city gates, they looked for an opportunity to nab him outside the city. . . .
