At once....

Acts 9:20At once he (Saul) began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God.

Saul spent three days in Damascus with scales on his eyes then several days he stayed with the disciples…that’s what separated Saul from being a murderous enemy of God, to being an on fire ‘preacher’ of God’s word.

And it didn’t take long for the hunter to become the hunted.
23After many days had gone by, the Jews conspired to kill him.
Three verses later, Saul has so offended the Jews (much like Jesus did) with the Gospel, that they are conspiring to kill him. Wonder what their thought on that “do not kill” commandment was.

God…we know we are ‘screw ups’, your word says that all have sinned (not one is without sin) and fall short of your Glory…..I take comfort that you use screw ups….because it really gives you all of the glory. We also know that your arm isn’t too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. Thank you for saving us.
