Paul

The first verse to the Romans goes like this
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,
Now I have gotten a lot of my thoughts about Romans from listening to John Piper's expository preaching on the book of Romans and the other thoughts from just meditating on it.
The opening word to this letter is an identification of who the author is, Paul. The more you learn about this man Paul the more amazed at him you become. He was Saul of Tarsus, born a Hebrew and a Roman citizen. He was an up and coming Pharisee, faithful to the traditions of his religion, taught by a well known and respected rabbi of his day named Gamaliel He was zealous to the point of being willing to see those who were claiming Jesus to be the Christ executed because it went against what he believed or so he thought.


I love you Kendra
