Theme: What We Learn on the Road
As he (Saul) was going along the road . . .suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” He asked, “Who are you, Lord?” The reply came, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.” Acts 9:3-5
