Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15: 8-10
8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born. 9 For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
Scripture Commentary: Jesus tells us that ‘whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
Paul was a Pharisee who persecuted the Christian church. He felt he was the least of the apostles, unworthy to be one of them .
Do you feel unworthy to spread the Gospel of Christ?
Ask God for forgiveness like Paul did and by His grace, you will become God’s servant. Humble yourself to God and see His works both in and through you.
Because of Paul’s prominent position as a Pharisee, he was a greater object of persecution than the other apostles; thus he had to work harder to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Don’t think that things will be easy because you’re spreading God’s message. Look what they did to Christ as He went about preaching the Word.
Paul was saved on the road to Damascus and born again. Maybe you, like Paul, are on the road to Damascus. Ask God to detour you.
