Saul opposed the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in every way. He was present at the stoning of Stephen, he had made havoc of the Christian Church in Jerusalem. He scattered Christ's flock.

And while he meant it for evil, God meant it for good. Wherever believers went they shared and told of the wonderful grace of Jesus. As a result believers and the Christian Church spread to Judea and Samaria and beyond.

In our present passage we will see how the Lord Jesus repurposes Saul and equips him for the work of ministry.

IN THIS OUR THIRD STUDY, we'll continue our study of this pivotal moment in the life of the Apostle Paul, as learn more about what the Lord had in store for him. We will note that with "the interpretive key" the Apostle Paul comes to unlock the mysteries of God's Grace found throughout the Old Testament.

IN affect, we see that the not only does the Gospel's enemy become it's friend, but its Champion as well!
