In Acts 9, we read of the single most significant story in the history of Christianity since the coming of Christ: the conversion of Saul (who was also called Paul). The conversion of Saul has such a weight because the first Christian churches that gave birth to Christianity as a world religion were either founded by Paul himself or heavily influenced by him. What caused this dramatic and significant conversion was a "personal and direct experience of the risen Jesus Christ." I explore the importance of "the persona and direct experience of Jesus Christ" in Christian history, and how it might relate to us.
