What Does Acts 26:15 Mean?
Paul asks the question on which everything turns. The voice answers plainly: it is Jesus, the very one whose followers he has been hunting down.
In a single sentence Paul's whole world is overturned. The Jesus he believed dead is alive and speaking from glory, and the cause Paul served against was God's own. To encounter the risen Christ is to have every certainty remade. From this moment the persecutor becomes a servant.
