We need to live in this hope again and again: fearsome enemies can become precious friends. Adversaries can become advocates. Critics can become comrades. For most of us its pretty easy to believe that an intimate disciple can become a deadly betrayer, like Judas. Thats the way the world is. But we need to remember that a deadly persecutor can also become a great ally and partner in the cause of Christ. Thats the way God is. Thats the kind of power he has.
Look on your adversaries with the eyes of faith—that someday, by the power of God they could experience a turn-around as amazing and unexpected as Sauls.
