I'm going to show him just how much he'll have to go through because he's representing me.
Following Jesus means you're signing up for some real challenges, but you're not going in blind.
📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Acts, Saul, a zealous Pharisee who persecuted early Christians, has a life-changing encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, leading to his sudden conversion. God then speaks to a disciple named Ananias, instructing him to assist Saul and warning that Saul will face significant suffering for the sake of Jesus' name. This moment marks the beginning of Saul's transformation into the Apostle Paul, who would endure hardships while spreading the gospel across the Roman Empire.
