Day 48- From the Pen of Paul
Day 48- From the Pen of Paul
Paul is the only apostle called by Jesus after His resurrection from the dead. Before his conversion he was a Jewish religious leader, a Pharisee like Nicodemus. With the authority of the High Priest he had Stephen murdered for preaching the Gospel. He was a violent enemy of Christ and the church of God. But Jesus met Paul on the road to Damascus and his God-encounter radically changed his life forever. He was changed from a Christian-killer to a Christ-follower and a preacher of the very Gospel he tried to destroy. Thirteen of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament are written by him. Through revelation by the Holy Spirit, first-hand experiences with the other apostles, and his own church planting and missionary journeys, Paul continues the story of Jesus and His teachings.
