Power Ministry
However, Saul’s role in the drama of the early church took a drastic turn. His dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus is considered by many to be one of the two great proofs of the validity of the Christian religion (the other and most important being the resurrection of Jesus). When Saul of Tarsus encountered Jesus, the vigilant, relentless persecutor of Christians was converted to the very faith he resisted and warred against. He was filled with the Holy Spirit when Ananias laid hands on him following specific direction from the Lord. From that day, Saul the persecutor became Paul the apostle. He preached the gospel with power; and signs and wonders attended his ministry wherever he went.
