Saul Blinded on the Road to Damascus

Saul of Tarsus lies stunned on the rocky road, shielding his face after the heavenly encounter that stops his journey toward Damascus. Two traveling companions stand behind him in alarm, while the distant city rests beyond the desert hills. The scene portrays the decisive moment when the risen Jesus Christ confronts Saul, turning a persecutor of the church into the apostle who would proclaim the gospel to the nations. In Acts 9, the blinding light exposes Saul’s spiritual blindness and begins his transformation through repentance, obedience, and divine calling. This artwork serves well for teaching on conversion, surrender, grace, evangelism, and the calling of Paul.
