Last time, Paul grabbed us by the shoulders and said, “Don’t you dare move from the gospel!” — and if you felt that, you’re not alone. Paul wasn’t whispering, was he?
Today, though, the tone shifts. Not because Paul has calmed down — he hasn’t — but because he’s about to tell a story. His story. And it’s dramatic, it’s surprising, and it’s wonderfully encouraging.
Because in today's passage, Paul wants us to know something vital: The gospel he preached didn’t come to him from a Rabbi or via a religious committee, or some clever theological insight; it came from God Himself. And the proof? His life was turned upside down in a way no human could have orchestrated.
So today we are going to explore: How Paul received the gospel, why he didn’t need human approval to preach it, and how his past has now become a platform to demonstrate God’s grace. It also tells us why transformation matters in our story as well. And also, along the way, we’ll see that God has a remarkable habit of choosing the least likely people to carry His message.
Which means if you feel unqualified, unprepared, or just a bit of a mess, then this should be wonderfully reassuring.
