What Was the Original Road to Damascus?

Thanks for joining our Bible study. The headline teases a miraculous occurrence on the "road to Damascus" that changed the world. Later, the phrase was incorporated into our language. Here is the background.

A Jewish scholar named Saul was persecuting Jewish followers of Jesus Christ. But Jesus intervened (as only He can). He unleashed His heavenly power on Saul, who converted to believing that Jesus was Lord. Saul, who was renamed "Paul," traveled extensively in the name of Jesus, enduring suffering, hardship, and martyrdom.
