Saul sur le chemin de Damas

Saul is thrown from his horse as a brilliant shaft of heavenly light breaks through the sky on the road to Damascus. His startled posture, outstretched hand, fallen sandal, and rearing horse capture the sudden interruption of a persecutor confronted by the risen Jesus. The scene portrays the turning point in Saul’s life, when the Lord stopped him on his way to arrest believers and called him into a new mission. In Acts, the light from heaven and the voice of Christ reveal that persecuting the church is an offense against Christ Himself. This artwork emphasizes conversion, divine calling, repentance, and the grace that transformed Saul into Paul, a witness to the gospel.
