—Acts 26:9-18

That fire from heaven that fell on Paul kept him lit until his dying day. Many of us who cannot identify with such a jolting spiritual encounter still wish to be as zealous as Paul. This Paul is the same one who later wrote about his sinful wretchedness and his exuberant thanks to Christ Jesus all in one paragraph (Romans 7:24-25). We have the same thing to be radiantly zealous about even if we weren't knocked off a donkey in the process of receiving it. We have been turned from darkness to light, and to the extent that we daily turn to the Light, His fire will keep us lit (See Romans 12).
