The second, the “mortal Jesus,” will examine how Paul understood Jesus’s birth and experiences in mortality, looking specifically at one of Paul’s favorite images, the cross. Finally, we will consider Paul’s understanding of the “exalted Jesus,” namely what Jesus became after his resurrection and how that will affect his interactions with humanity in the future.

2 Corinthians 11:23-28 “I more so; in far more labors, in far more imprisonments, beaten times without number, often in danger of death. Five times I received from the Jews thirty-nine lashes. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep. I have been on frequent jou...

Jan 4, 2022 · Of course, Paul did encounter the Lord Jesus on the Damascus Road after Christ’s resurrection. While Jesus’ appearance to Paul may have been different in character from Christ’s pre-ascension appearances, this encounter with Paul was no merely subjective vision, as both Jesus’ voice (Acts 9:7) and the bright light (Acts 22:9) were perceived by Paul’s traveling companions.
Feb 19, 2022 · Both Jesus and Paul thought that this climactic moment of all human history was soon to come, it was right around the corner, it would be here within their own generation.

Detail of 'Apostle Paul', mosaic (c. 1900-1910), from Pyotr Basin's (1793-1877) original painting, Saint Isaac's Cathedral, St. Petersburg, Russia. We've left the narrative of Acts of the Apostles now. Paul is dead, executed by Nero in Rome around 65 AD, give or take a year. About the same time as Peter. But somehow, Paul lives on.
Revelation from God. So Paul experienced two transformations in his life! The first was at his conversion, when his heart was transformed.

Here Jesus Christ connects the Apostolic ministry from Jerusalem…to Rome. Romanism is a mandate delivered to Paul from the resurrected mouth of Jesus Christ:
