There are many believers today who have come from the outside (and even some who were raised in Christadelphian homes) whom — if we could have seen them before their conversions — we might not even recognize as the same people we know today. Their conversions from a life of sin (in many different aspects) to a life of holiness — love of God, Jesus, the Bible, and their neighbor — border on the miraculous.
In these articles we’ll look at some Bible characters whose conversions are similarly striking. All these men have this in common: they “saw the light” when they witnessed the sufferings and death of Jesus. Jesus was like no other man before or since. He was totally righteous throughout his life. But even that statement scarcely does justice to the time just before his death. Perhaps the word “noble” may describe him then, but even that description fails to adequately portray his character. Something in his actions and words during that time led to the most remarkable and unlikely of conversions.
