Bible Question:
I'm having trouble with the idea that "an Apostle had to actually have seen Christ" because I believe Paul to have been an Apostle, but I can't find any scripture that says he actually "saw" Jesus. On the road to Damascus, Acts 9:2-4 describes that a light from heaven flashed around Paul and he heard a voice, but not that he ever actually saw Jesus himself. Another thought: The others on the road, physically with Paul at the time, were in the presence of the risen Lord. They were speechless, having heard a voice, but not seeing anyone. How is their experience different from Paul's? Regarding servants worthy of the title "apostle", I think Billy Graham and Mother Teresa are good candidates. But that's just my opinion. |
Bible Answer: Actually Paul did see Jesus. 1 Cor. 15:8 (NKJV) Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time. NKJV 1 Corinthians 15 3For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 5and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. 6After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. 7After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. 8Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time. |
