This evening, we met together in a home and watched a documentary about the life of Paul, the apostle. This 1 hour film provided a very good and accurate description of his life, including his conversion, his ministry, his stand before rulers and his death.

The early first century followers of Jesus were a small, struggling group within Judaism who seemingly posed no threat to anyone, certainly not the mighty Roman empire. But there was one determined to see this fledging faith exterminated. His name was Saul and he became the greatest persecutor of the early church. But within a matter of a few years, the Christians fiercest opponent became its most effective advocate.

Struck down by a powerful conversion experience on the road to Damascus, Saul--his name changed to Paul--went on to become the greatest missionary in the history of Christianity. He went on to write more of the New Testament books than any other. In this impressive drama we follow Saul the angry zealot to Paul the servant of Christ who will pay any price to bring his message to the world.

The title of the film is Paul, the Emissary. This video is a Gateway Films production. We recommend that anyone who is interested in the life of Paul see this film.
