Acts 9:19-25
It appears Saul had experienced a complete change of heart, for as boldly as he marched toward Damascus to arrest the followers of the Way, he was now wasting no time boldly proclaiming Jesus.
The believers in Damascus were understandably a bit skeptical, considering the reports coming out of Jerusalem. Saul was now preaching to the very people he had been sent to arrest! And his preaching was so compelling, given his acute knowledge of the Law now brought to life by the Spirit, that the Jews could not refute his arguments.
Yet the same murderous spirit that had been upon Saul before he met the Lord on the road to Damascus was now upon several of the Jews who sought to kill him. Saul was about to become the victim of the very spirit he once operated in.
The enemy indeed turns on you when you switch camps, so don’t be surprised when the attacks come.
So the believers took action and made a way for Saul to escape, and the fact that they had to lower him in a large basket through an opening in the wall shows just how dangerous the situation had become for him.
Welcome to ministry, Saul!!!
