"We do not pick up religious knowledge and maturity by instinct; we are bound to search out the meaning of the Word of God and yield ourselves to the illumination of the divine Spirit; we must prove our conversion to be true by being as teachable as little children."- CHS— Spurgeon Library (@SpurgeonMBTS) February 15, 2022

Saul was a Pharisee, a Jew, a Roman citizen, and a possible member of the Sanhedrin. Saul’s mission to Damascus was one that would change his life in a way that even he did not expect.
