In this chapter we read about Saul's conversion experience, how he went from Christ hater to Christ follower.
Have you had a life changing experience with Jesus Christ?
It doesn't have to include a blinding light, getting knocked to the ground, and Jesus' audible voice but every one needs to have a moment when they can say, that is when I made the choice to follow Christ.
In revelation Jesus talks to a church that has gotten lukewarm in their faith. He yells at them and then charges them with this command, "Return to your first love." By that he means, return to the devotion that you had to Christ in the very beginning. Most people are pretty passionate about following Christ in the beginning but they stop doing the things that keep the love strong and they grow luke warm.
Saul never grew lukewarm because he could always go back and remember His first real experience with Jesus Christ.
Can you do the same?
Do you remember the time when you first really met Jesus Christ?
How has He changed your life since then?

The first time i realy met Jesus was at the Rock, just a few weeks ago.
I've grown up in the church so I have pretty much always believed, but not always followed. I decided about 4 years ago after a high school relationship that I was done messing around and I was going to truly follow him.
Ive been going to church my whole life,so ive always believed. But i decided to really be a Christian a few weeks after i started goin to the rock, and my life has been a lot better since then
In my life, I've learned that there is a huge difference between knowing ABOUT Jesus Christ, and KNOWING Jesus Christ.
I knew the story pretty well. But the day when I had my first heart to heart with Jesus, and understand His calling on my life, that was a special day I'll never ever forget.
And I've never been the same since. We'll, I'm still really ultra cool, so that pretty much the same...
like the others ive always beleived but it was about march of last year when my brother took me to the rock i started liking it and started reading the word and i decided from then on that i was gonna follow christ. it brought much more joy to my life rather than all my past anger that i had.
The first time i actually MET Jesus christ was at the mix last year. It was one of the best times of my life and i will never forget it. and that whole ultra cool thing justin was saying, yah that applies to me too.
