Acts 9:21
“All those who heard him were astonished and asked, “Isn’t he the man who caused havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”
When a person turns around not everyone can cope easily. There will always be people who do not want you to change. They have out you into a box and when you come out the box it causes them to be uncertain, shocked and astonished.
They will try and remind you of your past, “isn’t he the man who caused …?”
They will be cynical of what you are trying to do now, “and hasn’t he come to take them …”
Is that going to matter to you? Will this slow you down?
