This is the story of Saul. Saul was the foremost persecutor of the church. His conversion is a reminder of the power of the Gospel and the grace of God to reach anyone. Saul tried to quiet the Gospel, just like many today try to silence the voice of God calling them to repentance. It is the grace of God that stirs us to repentance. God is merciful and longsuffering. He is willing to bear with our faults with the hope that we might come to Him. But we must respond to this grace. Saul was willing to stop being stubborn and his eyes were opened. Just like Saul, there is hope that no one is too far from the grace of the Gospel. If we will respond to this grace and give all of ourselves to God, He will give all of Himself to us.
