The Conversion of St. Paul

Rt. Rev. Alan Hawkins
Written By The Rt. Rev. Alan Hawkins

As we continue through the season of Epiphany, where Jesus’s identity and mission is continually being revealed, we now find ourselves on the road to Damascus where Jesus reveals himself to Saul, a chief prosecutor of followers of Christ. Here is where Saul’s eyes are opened to the truth of who Jesus is. His name changes to Paul and the Lord to bring the gospel to the nations, and encouragement and instruction to followers everywhere.
