UNION RECORDER, MILLEDGEVILLE, GA., JULY 1>, 1«U

r b uI never had any use for hi» let-
0 f authority in Damascus, which
i; brought from the Sanhedrin at
ler*u#lcm. He came to arrest those
wh<l in that city were believing in
(l f Nazareth as the Sent of God.
;Vhfft he hod that life-changing re
flation outside the city his entire
rhanged inetanly. As
was recovered from his
blindness he was eager to tell others
about the difference in his own atti
tude. Being a devout Jew he made
hi- point of contact with the audience
.,f his fellows in the synagogue. The
hearers could not believe their own
ears, for they had known about the
havoc that Saul had made elsewhere
when he found any believers in
purpos*
Christ.
With the zeal of an rodent personal
faith and ability as a trained speaker
Saul, or Paul as he was later colled
begun his arguments and proved by
irrefutable evidence that this
Jesus was the long expected Messiah, j
Saul was a great scholar, trained by
famous teachers and was unusually
able in debate. While his audiences
might be forced to concede his con
clusions they were not always sympa
thetic with what they could not deny.
Even for himself there was much
to be thought through. For the pur
pose of having time for meditation
and prayer Saul soon left Damascus
for some place in Arabia. Clear rec
ord of this is found in Galatians 1:16-
18. By comparison note that Moses
spent forty years in special prepara
tion in Arabia for his leadership of
Israel out of Egypt, and Jesus was
forty days in the Wilderness, con
templating his great mission after the
descent of the Holy Spirit at the Jor
dan. From the desert school of many
months Saul returned to Damascus
and again took up his teachings in
that city.
Plots were now laid against this
one who had severely persecuted
others. Watchers were set to seize
him if he fled from the city. These
plans were discovered by those who
were eager to save the life of this
one who proclaimed such a religion
of joy and hope. It was possible to
avoid seizure by lowering Saul in a
baske. from a window that overhung
one of the walls and so he escaped
and hastened to the disciples at
Jerusalem. There Saul had his sur
prise for thef*e leaders in the church
would not accept him ns a convert in
view of the way he had made havoc
by awful persecution, and particul
arly by having part in the stoning of
Stephen, the first Christian martyr.
R.ninbas was the one who chant-
pioned a Saul rnd helped them to see
that the conversion before the walls
01' Damascus was genuine. They
were further convinced as Saul
"preached boldly in the name of the
Lord Jesus" even when many
seeking to kill him because of the
position he had taken. In ordi
•■ave his life the brethren decided that
it was better for hint to preach else
where for a time, and Saul used the
opportunity of returning to Tar
his home town in Cilicia. He remain-
‘■d there until they wanted a preacher
at Antioch where already there were
oiany converts, and many n
daily inquiring about the Je.MUs Way
01 living. It was at Antioch that the
"disciples were first called Chris-
