We’ve probably all experienced being someplace where we did NOT feel welcome. In fact, the sooner we could get out of there the better! Do you remember that feeling? Join me again in Damascus, Syria, about 2000 years ago. By the way, YES, this is the very same city as today’s Damascus, Syria.
Saul had come to arrest the Jesus followers in Damascus, but instead of arresting them, he went to meet with them and learn from them about Jesus! And the Jews in the synagogues expected Saul to come to their meetings to rally support to join him in arresting and persecuting the Jesus followers, but instead Saul proclaimed in those synagogues that he was a radically changed man and now he was confident Jesus was in fact the Son of God and the Jewish Messiah! It’s safe to say Damascus was turned upside down like Jerusalem had experienced with Pentecost!
