The answer is: True

Acts 9:3

The incredible story of Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus marks a pivotal moment not just in his life, but in the early spread of Christianity. Before this surprising turn of events, Saul (as he was known then) was staunchly against those who followed Jesus. Imagine, under the blazing sun, as he approached the city of Damascus on horseback, he suddenly encountered a bright light — a cosmic moment that culminated in a voice asking, "Saul, why are you persecuting me?" His course was irrevocably altered.

This conversion narrative is a masterpiece of storytelling. Its themes of transformation and grace resonate throughout biblical literature, reminding us all that redemption is possible, irrespective of one’s past. Acts 9 illustrates how incredible qualities like clarity of purpose (after initial confusion) and vulnerability shaped Saul's new path. Serving as an "Apostle to the Gentiles," his later epistles delve deep into discussions about love, community, faith, and liberation, challenging followers to embrace worship in new forms.

Interestingly, this story stands as a precursor to similar transformative moments in scripture. Moses at the burning bush and Peter’s revelation on the rooftop in Joppa also showcase personal conversions that prompt new voyages of faith. This theme continuously emphasizes the capacity for profound change in one's mission through a divine encounter, something we might reflect on whenever we feel we’re wandering off the established path. So, whether you’re riding along life’s road or taking a moment in quiet reflection, remember that unexpected transitions can lead to the most profound relationships and fervent missions.
