Little does he know the profound changes this simple act will bring” “Yet, in the story's final scene, Saul stands preaching to an arena filled with scoffers of God, and in an act of divine inspiration, calls on the Holy Spirit to act so clearly that all within sight are made to believe in the power of Jesus Christ.

With an open heart and a willing soul, this simple young man is transformed into a vessel for the message of salvation brought to earth by Jesus Christ, and so doing fulfills his destiny.

The story opens a new window on the story of Christ and the transformation of his holy presence enacted on even the physical objects that he's come in tough with
