In one day Paul changed his entire life.

 

Educated.

Rich.

Popular.

Adored.

Privileged.

Entitled.

We might even say…worshipped.

 

But on the road into Syria, in pursuit of anyone who would follow Christ, and full of rage—Paul had the encounter of a lifetime.

 

Acts 9  3 As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.  4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”

5 “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked.

6 “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

 

When Jesus transforms a life, miracles happen:  

  • Sinners are granted a ticket to heaven.  
  • We become perfect.  
  • We become children of the Father.

 

Given the fact that Paul went from killer to friend, it took a while for people to believe that he had changed teams.

 

But convince them he did.

 

And it wasn’t hard to see.  On the earthly level, he lost all of those things that defined him:

 

His education, his money, his popularity and adoration, his privilege, his entitlement…all were thrown away.

 

When we allow Jesus to COME INTO OUR LIVES and change our worldly pursuit to a pursuit of Him, we become miraculous world changers.

 

Don’t be afraid to lose something that you can’t keep to gain something that you can’t lose.

 

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
