In a remarkable turn of events that can only be owing to the intervention of God, Paul is given the opportunity to make a defense to the charges made against him by his beloved Jewish people. Paul, being one of the most theologically astute and intellectually competent men ever to live, could have tied the thousands of enraged Jews with an intellectual defense of Christ. But he doesn’t. Instead, he provides something more powerful. He tells them his conversion testimony of how he met Christ and was transformed forever by Him. Paul’s defense shows us that a person’s salvation experience is one of the most convincing evidences to the reality of Christ.
