ADVENTURES OF PAUL: EQUALITY WITH THE TWELVE
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Adventures Of Paul
a) Another of the great preachers during the dawning of New Israel was the apostle Paul. In this, we shall look at Paul.
2. Equality With The Twelve
a) The twelve apostles were a special group in many ways, special enough that it was necessary to replace Judas after he betrayed Christ and committed suicide (Acts 1:15-26). However, the twelve were not the only apostles. Others too had a special mission from God.
b) Paul, and some of his partners in the gospel, were also apostles (Romans 16:7 Acts 14:14). Paul regarded himself, as far as authority was concerned, an apostle "not one whit behind the very chiefest" (2 Corinthians 11:5, 12:11).
c) Christ used the twelve apostles, including Peter, to establish the kingdom of heaven (his church) in Jerusalem. He also used them to spread the kingdom throughout the world in widening circles (Acts 1:8). However twelve men alone would be too limited to accomplish that task. The dawning of New Israel was, like the dawning of a new day, to sweep around the globe. So the Lord appointed other apostles and preachers to help with this task. Among these Paul was notable, not only for the work he did, but also for the manner in which he was called.
