How To Be Changed Like Paul:
Jesus worked in Paul before he ever worked through him.
Paul met the Christ he persecuted on the road to Damascus—and in a blinding flash—his life changed forever (Acts 9). And we simply cannot overstate the importance of this moment.
One moment, he was “breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord,” (Acts 9:1), and three days later he received a vision from Jesus that a man named Ananias would restore his sight (Acts 9:12).
Saul was transformed from persecutor to prophet. But he first had to encounter the gospel power of Jesus.
Today, my prayer isn’t first: “Lord use me like Paul!” It’s, “Lord change me like Saul!”
As the saying goes: Changed people change people.
Do you long for Christ’s power in you—or just through you?
