"Sit," the cutorner yelled. But nothing happcned. He turned to the farmer and said, "You dlaim this mule will do anything il is told, but t can't get the mule to sit down." The farmner just smiled. He reached down and picked up a two-by- four, then walked over and bit the mule in the head. "Sit," be wbispered in the mules ear. And the old burro sat rigbt down. Turning to the shocked customer, he said, "First, you have lu get bis attention." In the New Testament book, Acts, the conversion of the Apostîr Paul best illustrates this principle. He waa totally committed to doing what he believed was righî--stamping out the existence of the church. He had heard the truth of Jesus preached on several occasions.

"Why are you persecuting Me?" the Lord asked. Saul had not tboughî about wbst be was doing from that perspective. He neyer imagined thàt he was persecuting Jesus. Jesus was dead! Or was He?
