Thought for the week:​​
​
Acts 9 1-22 The conversion of Saul. Paul is there at the stoning of Stephen. He is there in Jerusalem throwing believers in prison. He is off to Damascus full of zeal to hunt
down more believers in Jesus. He then encounters Jesus and everything changes.
All his certainties crumble before him, he is wrong, he is blind, he is in the dark. This
experience is the end, but it is also the beginning. We are told Saul went into the
desert for three years and he came out very different. Saul changed from a man
hardened by belief in his own certainties to a compassionate man with a deep
assurance of God. There are times God challenges us and we face changes that can be painful and take time. God is patient and we need to be patient as people
building takes time. God hasn’t finished with us…we are all building sites…SD
Collect
Almighty God,
who caused the light of the gospel
to shine throughout the world
through the preaching of your servant Saint Paul:
grant that we who celebrate his wonderful conversion
may follow him in bearing witness to your truth;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
