“Saul’s Approval”

 

Acts 7 Stephen gets stoned.  Not in the way that this world thinks.  Stephen a man of God speaks the Truth to the high priest with the court of the Sanhedrin standing there.  What does Stephen get?  He get’s stones thrown at him until dead.  Who was standing there when this happened?  Saul.  Saul was a mans man he was out to kill the Christians.  He even acquired letters from high officials to jail or kill them.  Saul sounds like he may have been an Islamic.  What do you think?    They all want to destroy Israel, Gods chosen people.  What happened to Saul?  He was converted, right?  Jesus came to Saul and blinded him that He may see.  It took a miracle to get Saul to see the Truth.  Jesus came to him personally and told him to stop persecuting His people.  Once Saul’s conversion was completed Jesus gave him a new name and it is Paul.  Paul authored the majority of the New Testament if I am correct and he was convinced that Jesus is who He appears to be as it is written and as it was given to him by divine appointment.  What are you waiting for?  A miracle?  Look in the mirror.  Now that’s a miracle!  On another note why was Jesus standing at the right hand of God?  You will have to read my blog “Just a Thought” for the answer.
