"We pray for the will of God to unfold in our world. We pray for those who live out their love and devotion and who suffer because of their affiation with our Jesus. We pray for the life takers...because we believe that none are out of the reach of rescue and that the Gospel extends and includes them should they reach out their hand for redemption. It’s easy for us to hate our persecutors, but the love of God reminds us how desperate we all are for heaping amounts of grace all the time. And it empowers us to love with a love beyond the conditional human love we can muster. God pours His love into us, so that we can love the undeserving. The live of Saul reminds us that none are beyond the saving grace of our God, that it can blind the persecutors and give them new vision, Christ-infused vision. And they can go forth and proclaim the Gospel in radical ways."
