(Acts With today's study we begin our autumn quarter of studies under the theme: "From the Damascus Road to Rome." As you might have guessed from the theme title, these studies center on the person and work of the Apostle Paul." The Apostle Paul was a unique person in all Christiandom. He is referred to by some scholars as being the greatest Christian who ever lived.

His dedication to the Lord's work, and his exemplary life certainly place him in the category of those whose lives we should choose to copy. Born a Jew in Tarsus of Asia Minor, raised and schooled in Jerusalem under the tutelage of Gamaliel, a renowned teacher, he became a man steeped in the traditions of the Jewish law. By birth he was a Roman citizen which became advantageous to him at points throughout his life, but in the end he was put to death, beheaded, by the Roman government. The Apostle has so much to stay to us who live today, particularly through his letters written to churches and to persons. The text for our first study records Paul's salvation and calling into Christian service.

ANGRY JOURNEY (Acts "And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went into the high priest." (Verse 1). Stephen was an eager preacher of the Gospel. The Jews had stoned him to death and Saul had been a spectator at the event. Afterwards, Saul had gone to the high priest for permission to pursue Christ's disciples even to Damascus, and to arrest them and bring them back to Jerusalem for trial. Saul was an activist.

After receiving letters of authority, Saul, and a band of temple soldiers, set out for Damascus.

As Saul and his company neared their destination an unexpected and unusual thing happened to him. Suddenly an extremely bright light from heaven blinded him. He fell to the ground and a voice spoke, saying "Saul, Saul, why persecutist thou me?" Saul replied, "Who art thou, Lord?" The voice said, "I am Jesus whom thou persecutist." This young man was wrong but sincerely so.

He was at heart a good man who thought that what he was doing was right in the sight of God. Saul was now astonished to find that he was wrong. The Jesus whom they had crucified was now speaking as his Lord. Saul said, "What would you have me to do, 'Lord?" Jesus replied, "Go into the city and it will be told thee what to do." Saul was blinded, but he was led into the city to await further instructions. He stayed in his room three days waiting, without food or water.

Three days to do nothing but think. "Have I been so wrong? The crucified Jesus truly was the Messiah, God's Son, "he must have thought. CHOSEN INSTRUMENTS (Acts God was in the process of working out His redemptive purpose in the world. His Son, Jesus, had come into the world and established a new covenant a covenant not of laws but of love and grace, prophesied by the Prophet Jeremiah about six centuries earlier. This man Saul, who would soon be called Paul, had the very characteristics which Christ needed to carry the salvation message to the Gentile nations.

It was a new day for Christ had established the church in the world to evangelize God's redemptive purpose. Paul had a dramatic call to Christ's service. For we who live today, our call may beless dramatic, but every bit as emphatic.
