After His ascension, Jesus made notable reappearances to certain apostles, each with significant implications for the early church. One of the most dramatic was His appearance to [[Paul the Apostle|Saul of Tarsus]], who would later be known as the [[Paul the Apostle|Apostle Paul]]. As Saul traveled to Damascus to persecute Christians, Jesus appeared to him in a blinding light, asking, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?" This encounter led to Saul’s conversion, marking a pivotal moment in Christian history. Paul would go on to become one of the most influential apostles, spreading the gospel throughout the [[Roman Empire]] and authoring many of the [[New Testament]] [[epistles]]. Jesus' reappearance to Paul emphasized His ongoing involvement in the growth of the church and His power to transform even the most unlikely individuals.
