Nearly all of us who drive cars know the embarrassing and sometimes terrifying realization that we are driving the wrong way on a one-way street. Saul appreciated grace so deeply because he realized how terribly wrong he had originally been about Jesus, Stephen, and the early disciples. The one who supervised the stoning of Stephen — the accusers laying their coats at Saul's feet shows he was in charge — was never the same. Something about witnessing Stephen's faith opened a place in Saul's heart for grace to reach him, completely turn him around, and re-align his life with Jesus. The persecutor became the persecuted. The murderer became the martyr. The hate-monger became the grace-giver. Such is the power of Jesus!
