Don’t you wish you could prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus is the Messiah? I mean irrefutable proof that you could just drop and everyone would be convinced about the Bible, Sin, Jesus, Salvation, Forgiveness, Resurrection, Heaven and Hell. But even the most convincing proof won’t convince everyone. Just look at the life of Jesus: undeniable miracles, prophecies fulfilled, I mean resurrection from the dead is kinda a big indicator that there is something special about Jesus. No matter how many “convincing proofs” we offer, it just may not be enough to convince people. And that is what we see with this new Christian named Paul we read about in Acts 9:19-31. His life is radically changed from one that is actively hunting down Christians to imprison and kill them, to one who is doing everything he can to convince people that Jesus is the Messiah. This 180 degree life change came through a personal experience with Jesus earlier in Acts 9. It takes Jesus working in peoples lives, softening their heart and drawing them into faith. Even the most convincing proofs won’t change people if God is not already working in them.
