A personal encounter

For the Jews, Resurrection meant different things... for the Sadducees and Pharisees, a theological debate theme, for some, it was a lie, for most, another fable. For the Romans it was a petty religious issue of the Jews.  For the Greeks it was another myth, interesting and amusing.  For the apostles, initially, it was chaos.  However, for Saul it was an encounter with a person.  That one encounter was enough to make him St Paul.  Today we hear so much of Paul and his faith.  Nothing much is heard of the rest of the gang, about them speaking or writing about resurrection.  It would be a similar case with us unless and until we encounter Him.  Paul had the courage and the wisdom to move deeper after the encounter and make life changing decisions.  Most of us never even realise the encounter!
