Many things in Paul's testimony appeal to the Jews: his Jewish background, association with Gamaliel and Ananias, and his persecution of the Way. But don't miss the significance of a great light. The glory of God had filled the tabernacle and temple at different times. It departed 400 years earlier & how the Jews must have hoped for it's return. Now Paul refers to a bright light and his appropriate recognition that it is the Lord (v8). The way God worked in Paul's life gave him the testimony that would be most compelling. We don't need to contrive or embellish or flatter in our testimonies. God's work of grace will be useful to God at the right time and place. Trust Him!
