The Risen Jesus forgave all of Saul’s sins unconditionally. There is not a single rebuke; not a single punishment. The Risen Jesus embraced him with the grace of God. This is God’s one-sided grace. This is God’s unconditional love. Saul could not resist this grace. He surrendered himself to this grace. His conversion was surrendering himself to God’s grace. Before this meeting, Saul was convinced that Jesus of Nazareth was dead and was buried in a tomb in Jerusalem. What a shock! The glorified Jesus appeared before him. By meeting Jesus personally, Saul realized that Jesus is God himself. It changed the entire direction of his life. He also realized that he was a sinner who was trying to destroy the work of God.
