It’s a Miracle!
Interesting that I would be reading David Hume around the same time I'm reading Acts 9, because amazingly enough Hume, an atheist, makes a great argument that goes well win Paul's conversion. Talking about miracles, he says (probably sarcastically): "Whoever is moved by faith to assent to it (miracles), is conscious of a continued miracle in his own person, which subverts all the principles of his understanding". It indeed is a miracle that any of us believe at all, and here in Acts 9, we see one of the greatest examples of this. Saul, a Pharisee, an enemy of the church, is called by Jesus in a powerful way and is saved. Amazing!
