Paul's job as a leader among the Jews was to arrest, imprison and even kill christians! And now, as a christian, the Jews wanted to kill him! You would think they would have thought to ask his story first!!!

The intense hatred toward Jesus was overwhelming. Think about this. Paul was the leader of those seeking to eliminate christianity in its early stages. He was a leader among the pharisaic Jews. After his conversion, not one of them sat down and even had a conversation with him! At least not a conversation that was recorded.

When people get set in their ways, not even a superstar convert redirects their opinions. Without the help of the Holy Spirit, no one would believe. I am so grateful for the work of the Holy Spirit in my life. With Him, I would be lost. We all would.
