“Who art thou, Lord?”
And he (Saul, Paul) said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
--Acts 9:5
Jesus appeared to Saul and introduced himself. He said that he was Jesus whom Saul was persecuting, and that it would be hard for Saul to kick against the pricks. Saul was a staunch religiously-oriented man, well trained in religion, but he was fighting against Christ and the church. Saul’s name became Paul. He was fore-ordained in the pre-mortal life to be an apostle here on the earth. He was intelligent, skilled, valiant, and vigorous. His strength and power could be for bad or for good. Originally it was totally for the bad, but after Jesus appeared to him, he was converted to the true Christ and the truth faith. He became one of the greatest missionaries for the Lord ever. )
