Amazing Grace/The Gospel of Jesus Christ
I Timothy 1:15, 16

No one expected Saul of Tarsus to be converted. His opposition is too deep and too violent against Christians. So much of his life would be threatened if Christianity were true!

He has taken such a public stand that it would be utterly humiliating to change his mind and support what he had fought to exterminate.

So, what God wants us to see is this conversion of Saul of Tarsus is that the most unlikely people can be converted and are converted. God's mercy and power are not limited to people who have been set up for Christianity by a good family or by being raised in a church as a youth. The chief of sinner was converted.

And that means there is hope as we witness for the Lord. There is hope in evangelism. There is hope in our own faltering walk, as we think that no one will listen; no one will respond to our invitation.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all peoples, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
