Saul seems like the last person Jesus would ever claim, but on the road to Damascus he learns that not even a violent past can place someone beyond the reach of the risen Lord. Jesus stops him, blinds him, humbles him, and then—through the hesitant obedience of Ananias—begins remaking the persecutor into a preacher of the Gospel. This is the hope of the text: the reach of Jesus is not limited by rebellion, blindness, or broken history, because He still lays hold of sinners and turns them into His servants..
