As a result of revelation, Saul of Tarsus experienced a tremendous uphe=
aval
in his personal life. The que=
stion
is, what did he see? Paul saw=
a
Person, the Son of God. Many =
world
religions have “enlightened” approaches to life with practices =
and
lifestyles. The revelation of=
the
New Testament is a Person, purely and simply.
This revelation occurred not only to Paul’s physical eyes, but i<=
i>n
him. Man most effectively see=
s from
within, not from without. The=
eyes
of flesh never produce any lasting change. The yes of the heart always cause m=
en to
see properly.
Paul was not an afterthough=
t in
God’s plan, an addendum to the real Apostles who comprised the
twelve. He had been separated=
from
his mother’s womb to see this revelation, and saw it at a time that
pleased God.
Paul’s message, his gospel, then became what he had seen—a
Person, Christ.
