- The Calling of Moses (Exodus 3):God called Moses from the burning bush to lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt, a turning point for the entire nation.
- The Conversion of Saul/Paul (Acts 9): Paul's encounter with the risen Christ transformed him from a fierce persecutor of Christians into one of the most influential apostles, significantly impacting the spread of the Gospel.
-
Joseph Reveals Himself (Genesis 45):After his brothers were sent to Egypt for grain, Joseph revealed himself to them, turning their desperate situation around and leading to the salvation of his family and the Israelites.
What Makes a Turning Point? In biblical studies, a "turning point" is a critical moment where the direction of the story or a life takes a dramatic shift, like an about-face. These are often moments of:
- Divine Intervention: God directly intervenes in human affairs, such as with Abraham or Moses.
- Confession and Proclamation: A pivotal declaration, like Peter's declaration of Jesus as the Christ, can act as a turning point.
- Transformation: A fundamental change in an individual's heart or mission, exemplified by Paul's conversion.
