In Acts 7:52-60 the line “Lord do not hold this sin against them” (Acts 7:59) is a parallel to the way that Jesus forgave his enemies on the cross at his crucifixion‚ along with Saul on the Road to Damascus and Peter at Pentecost. In the same light‚ modern day saint Pope John Paul II forgave his murderer‚ Mehmet Ali Ağca in Rome in 1981. First‚ I will examine Jesus’s praise of forgiveness on the cross in Luke 23. Next‚ I will compare Jesus’s situation on the cross to that of Stephen in Acts 7. Then

Saul was the first king whom God had chosen to lead and represent His people (the twelve tribes of Israel) and righteous government on earth. Notably‚ Saul won many battles for Israel because God was fighting with him. However‚ Saul’s relationship with God turned fruitless when he disobeyed God’s Holy instructions to eliminate all the Amalekites and their livestock (1 Samuel 15:3). This happened because He listened to the people’s voice instead of faithfully following God. God was totally insulted

the book of Acts‚ on the way to Damascus‚ Saul the Pharisee fell to the ground when he heard the voice of Christ saying to him‚ ’Saul‚ Saul‚ why do you persecute me?’ Saul then temporarily lost his sight. It was reasonable to assume that Saul had fallen from a horse as he was a man of importance. Caravaggio paintings were very close to what the Bible describes.

The story of Saul is a unique one with a fairy tale opening and a horror story ending. Saul went from being the pick of the litter to be dragged around and disgraced in death by his own actions. That’s one extreme to another‚ you may ask how and why this happen. Why did God allow His first king to go out in such a horrible way‚ his head cut off‚ no armor and laid there in disgrace before God’s enemies as they rejoiced and laughed. Saul was God’s chosen man for a new direction for the nation of Israel
