<p>9:4 <i>And he fell upon the earth and heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?</i>- Clear evidence that the body of Christ is as it were the Lord Jesus personally. Whatever is done to us is done to Him. Nearly 10 times we read Paul saying that he had 'persecuted' Jesus; he was deeply aware of it. And he surely had his past in view when he urged: &quot;Bless them which persecute you; curse them not&quot; (Rom. 12:14). He likely remembered those whom he had maimed and murdered blessing him and not cursing him, and he realized that he was reaping the blessings of their grace.</p>
