Pills of Faith January 25 "Isn't this the one who haunted us?"

“We don't preach ourselves; but Christ Jesus Lord; as for us, we are your servants for the love of Jesus "(2 Cor 4,5). So who is this witness who announces Christ? Just the one who haunted him before. Great wonder! The first persecutor, here he is announcing Christ. Because? Maybe it was bought? But nobody could have convinced him that way. Did the sight of Christ on this earth blind him? Jesus had already gone up to heaven. Saul had left Jerusalem to persecute the Church of Christ and, three days later, in Damascus, the persecutor became a preacher. For what influence? Others cite people on their side as witnesses to their friends. Instead, I gave you as a witness one who was previously an enemy.

Do you still doubt? Great is the testimony of Peter and John but ... they were just of the house. When the witness, a man who later dies for Christ's sake, is the one who was formerly the enemy, who could still doubt the value of his testimony? I am just in admiration before the plan of the Spirit ...: He grants Paul who was a persecutor, to write his fourteen letters ... As his teaching cannot be contested, he has allowed the former enemy and the persecutor to write more by Pietro and Giovanni. In this way, the faith of all of us can be consolidated. As for Paul, in fact, everyone was amazed and said: "But is this not the one who was raging against us in Jerusalem, and had he come here precisely to lead us in chains?" (Acts 9,21:26,14) Don't be surprised, says Paul. I know it well, "it is hard for me to recalculate against the goad" (Ac 1). "I am not even worthy to be called an apostle" (15,9 Cor 1: 1,13); "Mercy was used to me because I acted without knowing it" ... "The grace of our Lord has abounded" (14 Tim XNUMX: XNUMX-XNUMX).
