The most dramatic conversion told about in the Bible is the conversion of Saul, from a
persecutor of the church to loyal disciple. He that had been in charge of persecuting the
church, was reduced to having to be led around by his hand, and taking orders from a
little Jewish prophet. From now on the Holy Spirit and Christ would be guiding him.
The stage play, Shenandoah, is set at the time of the Civil War in a community close to the Mason Dixon line. The play starts in a small church worship service, and the song "I am ready you can pass the cross to me!" is used.
It turns out that individuals from the same church, even from the same families, fight on both sides of the war. At the conclusion of the play again they gather in the church. Their numbers depleted by death and by the wounded, they again sing, "I am ready...."
Saul didn't know how heavy the cross would be but he also was to embark on a cross- carrying journey. Acts 9:16 puts it this way: "I myself will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name."
