It was through a great change of opinion that Jesus fulfilled scripture. The crowds greeted him with joyful Hosannas on his ride into Jerusalem on the back of a young donkey. They waved palms and laid their robes in the street as an impromptu "red carpet." Yet mere days later, these crowds were screaming for the blood of he who was once the center of their celebration. Jesus' condemnation and crucifixion are the result of a radical change of opinion. But while a sudden change like this precipitated our savior's death, another sudden change brought his word to the world. Paul's transformation is a change in the other direction: from persecution to celebration of Jesus' power.
