Perhaps the greatest miracle in Saul’s life from the New Testament was his submission to Jesus Christ. There is nothing harder for a human to do than to wholly submit his/her will to another. For Saul, he totally submitted his will to the One he set out to persecute. It would have been easy to ask, “What hope could come from such a man?”

Once he was brought to submission, he asked a question that is always asked by anyone who encounters the power and love of Jesus Christ: “Lord, what do You want me to do?”

In that moment, the persecutor became a saint.

What hope do we have considering the problems confronting our world today? The world economy is fragile, wars threaten to ignite global conflict, crazed terrorists continue their brutality, in America we have creeping atheism, bold humanism, and rampant socialism in our schools and government.

Given these crises, what hope is there? Our hope is found in nothing less than Jesus Christ and righteousness. In that hope is power as Saul discovered. And in that power is the fact that we are not alone.

We are the irresistible force of the body of Jesus Christ, and the gates of Hell cannot prevail against us.
