(Lesson 2075)(07-08-17) 1 Corinthians 15:9-11
"For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed."
In today's quote, Paul told us that he considered himself the least among the apostles because he had persecuted the church. Yet, that made no difference because what empowered him was not of himself, but rather it was the Holy Spirit through the grace of God.
In my opinion, and so far as I have been able to discern, Paul is the greatest of the Apostles in that his simple message of faith is the purest of them all.~
