Acts 8:40 Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.As this was happening Saul was on a rampage.
Acts 9:1 Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord's disciples.
He was on his way to arrest more people who belonged to the Way when his life changed forever. On the road to Damascus Jesus came and met him.
Acts 9:4-5 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" "Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied.
The persecution that Paul was spearheading was not only against the followers of the Way but against The Way Himself.
Next Jesus told him to go into the town and wait. Saul did what he was told even though he was blind. There Ananias came to him and his sight was restored.
Point One - No one is beyond God's reach
Point Two - God specializes in the impossible
Point Three - When God touches someone they are changed forever
