Unlikely Disciples

Saul seemed unlikely to be the kind of guy one might expect would become a Christian. Chances are good we know folks like this as well. It’s true that only God can see inside the heart, to know whether in fact a person’s contrition is sincere and whether their repentance and faith is real. But the challenge you and I face is when we consider some to be more likely candidates for faith than others. It’s tempting to view our sins seem smaller and somehow easier to forgive. It reminds us how easy it is to take God’s grace for granted. It also brings to realize, in humility, how incredible it is that He has called you and me to faith and shows us His mercy.
