Today's reading 1 from Acts 9 is about the conversion of Saul (Paul). On his journey, as he was nearing Damascus, a light from the sky suddenly flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?" He said, "Who are you, sir?" The reply came, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Now get up and go into the city and you will be told what you must do." Jesus politely asked Saul "Why are you. . .?" It should benefit us to imagine what questions beginning with "Why are you" the Lord would ask each one of us. Doing this can help us see clearly where we fall short in following him. Hopefully, you won't come up with too many questions..
