The apostle Paul in the Bible was called Saul. He went around with threats against the disciples of the Lord.

“And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou. Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.” Acts 9:3-5

Things changed for Saul when he met the risen Lord Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus.

When we meet the Lord, things will change in our lives. When Saul realized Jesus Christ was the Son of God sent from Heaven to save us from our sins, he had to go out and tell others, and that is the way in our lives we go out and tell others what the Lord has done for us.

How can we remain silent, knowing that Jesus gave His life for each of us?
