Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

In our study of Saul of Tarsus we learn he was a brilliant, highly educated, well respected, deeply devoted religious legalist. Saul was an up and coming Pharisee who oozed self-righteousness. The Bible tells us he was breathing threat and murder against the disciples of Jesus as he began to terrorize the early church. After having himself deputized by the ruling religious authorities he set out to hunt down, arrest, and bring to trial, all Christians so he could stand by and watch them die. However, all that changed when he had a blinding personal encounter with the Risen Christ on a dusty road that led to Damascus.
