'Son of Sam' killer David Berkowitz and the apostle Paul have something in common - they were both serial murderers before they met the living Lord Jesus Christ. Listen to what manner of man that Paul (Saul) was - "And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles...As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed [them] to prison." Acts 8 They also have something else in common - their sins have been paid for on the cross by the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
