Paul's history was one of great hostility to the word
of God. Before his conversion to Christianity, he not
only persecuted the Christians, but helped to engineer
the death of Steven a devout Christian.
But Paul came to know Jesus through his failure to love
Jesus. He was on the road to Damascus, with several others
to continue the persecution of Christians, when he saw a bright
light. He fell from his horse and he heard the voice of Jesus.
His life is found in the Book of Acts ( in the Bible).
