The voice he hears is not just any voice, but that of Jesus, emphasizing the personal relationship Jesus has with His followers. The repetition of Saul's name underscores the urgency and importance of the message. By asking, 'Why do you persecute me?' Jesus identifies Himself with His followers, illustrating that any persecution against them is a direct affront to Him. This moment is pivotal for Saul, who is known for his zealous persecution of Christians. It marks the beginning of his transformation into Paul, who becomes one of the most influential apostles, spreading the message of Christianity far and wide. This encounter underscores the themes of redemption and transformation, showing that no one is beyond the reach of God's grace and calling.
