1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. A man by the name of Saul had been spending his days with a singular purpose: persecuting Christians. Pulling them from their houses. Throwing them in prison. Even having some killed. And yet God chose him to take his story to the Gentiles. Jesus arranged a face-to-face meeting with Saul while he was on his way to Damascus to persecute his followers. Jesus performed a work in Saul. Saul could see much better once he struck him blind. And by the end of the encounter his name is changed from Saul to Paul as he is given a new purpose and a new lease on life. Paul, a Jew, took the gospel message to the Gentiles. Paul, the “chief of sinners” spoke as a gracious receiver of God’s mercy. Paul, the expert on the Law, became the most outspoken voice for the grace of the Lord. And aren’t you glad he did? Most of us would not know Christ if Paul did not traveled the world telling others about him. And most of us would not know Christ if some modern day “Paul” had not walked up to us and introduce Jesus to us. God wants to use you to take his message to your world. Your street. Your workplace. Your school. You might not think he’d choose you either. But you might just need to think again, no matter who you are.
