Why does Jesus give Saul a command?

Acts 9:6 (ESV)

6 But rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.”

By issuing a command to Saul, Jesus demonstrates his authority and the fact that he expects immediate obedience.1 From now onwards Saul must learn to embrace his mission and submit to the instructions of Jesus.
