Wanted:

Notorious man who:

* Has locked up many Christians for their faith

* Has voted for Christians to be executed

* Has punished Christians in an attempt to force them to deny their faith

* Has pursued Christians outside the borders of his own land into foreign cities

Wanted....by Christ...for Christ...to serve and testify of him.

Today, January 25, is the Feastday of the Conversion of St. Paul.

It took quite an intervention, on the part of God, to break into Saul's former thinking and turn him around.  It took a very bright light, and the very voice of Jesus, to shake him up, and get him listening.  And what did Jesus say?  Basically, 'I am Jesus Christ.  Quit fighting me mister. Get up and get going; I've got work for you to do'.

The Coversion of St. Paul, Caragvaggio, 1601

Saul became Paul...and went on to be an amazing testifier of Christ.

God can use anyone, even you and me.  He can completely turn someone around.  He wants to bestow his grace upon us.  Let's not force him to strike us down on the freeway to get our attention.  He has work for us to do, too.
