Paul's Conversion
Storyboard Text
- Saul was a Jew who lived in Jerusalem. He did not like that some Jews were following the teachings of Jesus. He felt they were deceived and ignorant. He decided to arrest many of them in Jerusalem. This made him a feared Jew among the Christians.
- Saul appealed to the Jewish leaders for him to go to a nearby city, Damascus, to arrest the Christians there. They agreed and wrote a letter to the Jews in Damascus.
- Damascus
- On the way to Damascus, Saul was determined to hunt down the Christians. The Christians in Damascus were afraid of Saul and what he would do to them. Suddenly, Saul was blinded by a bright light. The resurrected Jesus spoke to Saul, and told him to go into the city. Then, he opened his eyes, but couldn't see! The men who were traveling with him had to lead him into the city.
- While in Damascus, Saul did not eat or drink. Then Jesus spoke to a disciple named Ananias in a dream, saying he should visit Saul. Ananias was hesitant at first, but he did what he was told, and went to where Saul was staying. As he spoke, miraculously, Saul was able to see again! Saul decided to become a Christian that very day!
- Saul decided to change his name to Paul, and told everyone that Jesus was the Messiah. They were amazed at his change of heart. The disciples were reluctant to welcome him at first, but soon Paul found his place among them. The Jewish leaders plotted to kill him, so Paul left Jerusalem secretly by night.
- Paul became one of the first missionaries and traveled everywhere from Asia to Rome, spreading the Gospel. He was beaten, thrown in prison, shipwrecked and ridiculed, but he didn't stop spreading the Word. The letters he wrote to the churches he founded, which can be found in the New Testament, still inspire Christians today.
