What change did Saul undergo after meeting Jesus?
Saul was blinded for three days and had to be led by hand into Damascus, undergoing a death, burial, and resurrection in his own life. He went from being a big man in Judaism to a lowly servant, becoming Paul and going primarily to the Gentiles.
Les teaches that after Saul arose from the earth and was led by hand into Damascus, he was three days without sight, food, and water, going through a death, burial, and resurrection in his own life. He moved from being the big man in Judaism to a lowly servant, even a prisoner of Jesus Christ for the Gentiles. Saul was to become Paul and go primarily to the Gentiles. Les compares this to Jonah, who was three days and three nights in the whale's belly and became a changed man. He also notes Saul's uniqueness: a Jew of the tribe of Benjamin, a Pharisee of Pharisees, yet also a Roman by birth through his father, unlike the original twelve disciples chosen within Palestine, not Gentile territory.
