Easter and Our Present

If there was anyone dead set on stopping the Jesus movement, it was Paul (Saul) of Tarshish. Paul was a vehement hater of Christians and stopped at nothing to squash their growing movement. That is until Paul encounters the resurrected Christ in Acts 9. Jesus reveals himself to Paul, and Paul’s life is never the same. Paul transforms from a passionate persecutor of the church ready to kill Christians to an enthusiastic witness ready to give his life in service to Christ. The resurrection was at the heart of Paul’s transformation.
