There was a man named Saul was a devout Jewish leader who hated what the Christians were doing so he persecuted, threatened and even killed some Christian believers under Jewish authority until one day when he was on the road a bright light flashed around him and lost his sight and he fell to his knees. Then a voice from heaven said
“Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
“Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked
“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting…now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
In the city God had spoken to a man called Ananias who then went to find Saul, who now knew Jesus as Lord, to baptise him. As he was filled with the Spirit his sight was restored. (Acts 9)
Saul, who was also called Paul, became so excited the more he heard about Jesus that he couldn’t help but preach everywhere he went. As the other disciples, Paul travelled to many countries and cities preaching about Jesus and wrote many letters to churches that started to meet because of his work, including the letter to the Philippians, which he wrote whilst he was in prison.
