The Chief
Introduction to the Series
1 Timothy 1:15 KJV 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.
No doubt there are hundreds of books, articles, and eBooks that have been written about the life of the Apostle Paul. Despite all the work that has been written on the subject, there is always room for more on Paul. He is such an outstanding figure, we never tire to expound on the life of a man whose beliefs and actions have caused him rise to the top of the list, to be one of the most ancient men to come to the top of human history, other than Jesus Himself. The lessons to be learned from his life and his teachings can be compared to a well of knowledge whose depths cannot be reached. Yet at the same time he calls himself the chief of sinners. Why would we want by any reasonable notion to consider the work of a man who thought of himself in that manner? We will see.
In this work, I am not presenting anything new. Someone somewhere has already written or spoken about everything that Paul said or did. Therefore, I am drawing from a vast works on the life of Paul as well as from the Scriptures, of which there is much there to use.
So, come with me as we travel with Paul through the roads of his life and glean some lessons for ourselves.
