Acts 9:1-2 (NKJV) 1 Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

Saul was zealous for God.<\/p>\n

His zeal, however, had gone terribly wrong. His anger toward \u201cpeople of the Way\u201d was driving him to have them rounded up and brutally persecuted, including the deaths of some believers.<\/p>\n

But God had a plan for Saul, and He was about to begin the execution of that plan as Saul made his way to Damascus.<\/p>\n

As most of you probably already know, Saul encountered a sudden light that \u201cshone around him from heaven\u201d.<\/p>\n

Saul fell to the ground, and as he did so, he heard Jesus speaking to him, addressing his persecution of believers.<\/p>\n

Saul asked who this was that he could hear but not see.<\/p>\n

Jesus went on to answer him, and when Saul realized that this was the very person whose disciples and followers he was persecuting, he had a sudden change of heart.<\/p>\n

His tone and his attitude suddenly changed. And Saul asked, \u201cLord, what do You want me to do?\u201d.<\/p>\n

In the span of a few moments, Saul had gone from an enraged persecutor of Christians to a broken man, asking Jesus what He wanted him to do.<\/p>\n

This is one of the most amazing and most rapid transformations of a man\u2019s heart in the entirety of God\u2019s word.<\/p>\n

And here\u2019s the best part of this whole thing; what God did for and with Saul, He can do for anyone.<\/p>\n

God\u2019s transforming power can change the heart of any man or woman who submits to Him and seeks His forgiveness.<\/p>\n

God has seen it all. He has heard it all. Your sin isn\u2019t too big for Him to forgive.<\/p>\n

Go to Him. Repent; turn away from your sins. Ask Him to forgive you. Recognize and embrace Jesus as God\u2019s son and your Savior. And let God show you the way forward.<\/p>\n

And He will do for you what He did for Saul.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s never too late. And today is the day for you.<\/p>\n
