Peter and Paul Conversions:
When you look through the New Testament - it’s interesting that two of the main characters and leaders of the church had very different conversion experiences.
Paul had a dramatic experience of Jesus on the road to Damascus and became a follower of Jesus.
Peter however, had a slower journey. He gradually comes to terms with who Jesus is and what it means to live into that fully.
The same is true today.
Some people can encounter Jesus in spectacular and miraculous ways - instantly feeling a desire to surrender their lives.
For others, it’s a slow burn and a gradual revelation of Jesus as Lord.
Wherever you are today and whatever your experience of coming to Jesus was, know that it’s OK to take time. Jesus invites us into a discipleship process where we:
Encounter the love of God.
Accept his offer to experience life in him.
Surrender all of who we are to him - so our life takes the shape of Christ.
Can I encourage you to stay on the journey and keep exploring faith?
