There was nothing in Paul’s career as a minister of the Gospel that was prestigious. Although he was equipped by education and experience to debate the law with the most intellectual Jewish scholars in Israel, to whom did the Lord send Paul? “ For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles.”(EPHESIANS 3:1).
Not only was Paul the prisoner of Jesus Christ, but God locked him up with the idolatrous, whore-mongering, homosexual-practicing Gentiles! If being knocked off his horse by a bolt of lightning didn’t shake Paul up, this should have. This was the ultimate in public humiliation for a Jew with his background and abilities.
Paul was not sent first to the pristine halls of the temple in Jerusalem to proclaim the name of the risen Messiah. Nor was he sent first and foremost to the courts of kings and noblemen to preach Jesus Christ. No—God gave Paul the primary objective to reach the unclean, immoral, idol-worshippers of the Roman Empire. And one of the sleaziest cities in the world was Ephesus, a city filled with debauchery, polygamy, incest, orgies, and degradation, where men were lovers of themselves and where pride reigned supreme. Paul was directed to preach the Gospel and teach the mysteries of Christ Jesus to people he probably wouldn’t even have spoken to before he received Jesus.
WHO IS LIKE OUR GOD! WHO CAN FATHOM HIS WAYS! GLORY BE UNTO THE MOST HIGH GOD.
