Paul, Apostle of Christ: The Heart of the Story

Paul, Apostle of Christ is the story of two men. Luke, as a friend and physician, risks his life every time he ventures into the city of Rome to visit Paul, who is held captive in Nero’s darkest, bleakest prison cell. Before Paul’s death sentence can be enacted, Luke resolves to write another book, one that details the beginnings of “The Way” and the birth of what will come to be known as the church. But Nero is determined to rid Rome of Christians, and does not flinch from executing them in the grisliest ways possible.
Bound in chains, Paul’s struggle is internal. He has survived so much—floggings, shipwreck, starvation, stoning, hunger and thirst, cold and exposure—yet as he waits for his appointment with death, he is haunted by the shadows of his past misdeeds. Alone in the dark, he wonders if he has been forgotten . . . and if he has the strength to finish well.
Two men struggle against a determined emperor and the frailties of the human spirit in order to bequeath the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.
“For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate.” (Romans 7:15, NASU)
We often like to think that the ones who saw Jesus in person during their lifetime, or the ones who lived centuries ago and were believers, had it made. We hold them up as “perfect people, perfect saints”, who almost came as close to not sinning as the Lord, the Messiah Himself. He walked without sin. Surely they must have come real close too, having known Him so well.
I now tend to think not. They had their faith and flesh struggles too. Thus it helps me in my mind and will, when I do the same thing over, and over, and over, to yet have hope to overcome.
Without fail, I find myself more often than I like facing the same old same old – battling the flesh and the soul (mind, will and emotions) when it comes to walking the straight and narrow. And yet, like maybe you too, we have to keep pressing on, relying on the Lord’s grace and mercy to overcome.
That is why the Lord’s Prayer has the petition included, “Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.” The Lord knows we need His help continually.
Are you like me, when someone gets the “shout out” at the office staff meeting, and I have to bite my lip to keep from jealousy and resentment. “They never acknowledge my great work!” I try not to say (too often) under my breath.
Or, as in an unexpected check comes in the mail for my friend and they share their excitement with me. “What about me Lord?” tries to speak into my brain.
Here’s another - the family member goes on another luxury trip, while I get to look at the photos they send back with their posts on Facebook and Instagram. “My turn is coming” I know I have said in the past. (I post a lot of social media photos. I can imagine people thinking that of me!)
Yes, it is a struggle. We fight the daily temptations to not envy another, get jealous over someone’s sports team winning and later hearing about it, while mine favorite is just so so. Or think they have it so good, and what I have isn’t so much.
I find help in being an overcomer by reading of King David and his weaknesses, and yet the Lord still stuck with him to see him through.
And then again we know Paul, probably the greatest apostle that ever lived. Thanks Paul for being was so honest in writing of your dilemma. It certainly gives hope for us.
As he wrote, “It happens so regularly that it's predictable. The moment I decide to do good, sin is there to trip me up. I truly delight in God's commands, but it's pretty obvious that not all of me joins in that delight. Parts of me covertly rebel, and just when I least expect it, they take charge.
I've tried everything and nothing helps. I'm at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? Isn't that the real question?
The answer, thank God, is that Jesus Christ can and does. He acted to set things right in this life of contradictions where I want to serve God with all my heart and mind, but am pulled by the influence of sin to do something totally different.
With the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah, that fateful dilemma is resolved. Those who enter into Christ's being-here-for-us no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud. A new power is in operation. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death.” (Romans 7:21-8:2, THE MESSAGE)
Something greater outside of ourselves has been given to us to be strong in our walk, even when the temptations and struggles come to pull us down. We must keep pressing on, knowing that the salvation of our souls and body is a daily, ongoing experience. It takes times to make it through the moments that certainly, almost continually come our way. The victory won’t happen overnight. For most of us, it is a lifetime walk to keep focused, stay alert, and keep our eyes fixed on Yeshua, the Author, and Finisher of our faith.
We will make it. The Holy Spirit had promised to walk with us and get us to the finish line in good fashion.
Shalom and ahava (peace and love in Hebrew).

Here's how God brought to pass the dreams of some of our heroes in the Bible. (Roksolana Zasiadko)
Nearly 10 years ago, after having been saved and Spirit-filled for 14 years, I experienced a personal revival. Many truths in God's Word became revelation to me, and I learned to live more according to the Spirit than according to the flesh. During this season, I came to understand that God had created me for a unique destiny.
I was SO excited! For the first time in my life, I had purpose—a true sense of calling. As I continued to press into God, He began to speak to me through dreams, visions and prophetic words about the things He would have me do.
He even began to move me in the direction I would need to go to fulfill some of the words. Though they had nothing to do with ruling and reigning, I felt as Joseph must have after he had received supernatural input about his future.
What I didn't know was that, like Joseph, I too was headed for a pit. It was a figurative rather than a literal one—but it was nevertheless a place of betrayal and rejection that caused me much disillusionment and pain.
I couldn't make sense of my experience or find a resolution for it. Slowly but surely the dreams began to fade, and the desire I had to become all God wanted me to be fizzled out.
By His grace, I didn't completely give up at this point; I kept running to Him. And when I pressed in to study His Word, I saw something. I wasn't the only one who had experienced the death of a vision on the way to fulfillment! Many characters in the Bible went through a similar time in their journeys.
Moses was appointed by God to be a leader of His people—to bring the Israelites out of Egypt. He didn't ask for the job; in fact, he resisted it. But once God convinced him of his call, he took the necessary steps to begin walking in it.
What happened? Every time he appealed to Pharaoh to "let God's people go," Pharaoh said, "No." It's a little difficult to lead a group of people if you can't get them moving in the right direction! Moses must have wondered whether he had really heard God about the appointment in the first place.
Joseph dreamed that he would rule over his own family; then he was sold by his brothers as a slave. In any society, a slave is a far cry from a ruler! And his chances of fulfilling his destiny got even slimmer when he was thrown in prison for something he didn't do.
David was anointed as a young boy to be king over the Israelites, but he spent the next 15 years trying to stay alive long enough to make it to the throne. He probably thought Saul, the reigning king, would be the one to train him up and prepare him for the job; instead, Saul sought to kill him.
David must have felt the prophet Samuel had made a big mistake in pouring the anointing oil over his head. The way things were going, he was more likely to become mincemeat at the end of a sword than the next king!
Paul was called as an apostle to the Gentiles. He traveled all over Asia preaching the gospel—until he was apprehended and put in jail. Suddenly, his ministry travels came to a screeching halt. How was he supposed to reach the people God had sent him to?
Perhaps you are in the place today that these godly characters once were, trying to hang on by a thread to a promise or a vision or a prophetic word and wondering why the realization of it seems so impossible—or at least far away. Perhaps you are feeling, as I did, as if you can't go on.
Don't worry. You aren't responsible for putting the wind back in your own sails. "For God is the One working in you, both to will and to do His good pleasure" (Phil. 2:13). He is responsible for taking you from the promise to the presentation of it. And He knows that the season in between—the time of preparation—is often difficult.
But He also knows what it will take for you to carry out the commission He has given you, and He wants to be certain you are prepared for the task. He uses the time of preparation to patiently and carefully equip you, going so far as to work all things together for your good so that His purposes ultimately will prevail (Rom. 8:28).
We don't know for certain all that God had to work into—or out of—the biblical characters I mentioned to make them ready for their destinies. But we do know the end results.
Moses led God's people out of Egypt and through the wilderness to the brink of the promised land. Joseph was named second in command to the highest ruler in the nation. David became king over all Israel—not just over one of the two kingdoms. Paul wrote letters while in jail, now called "epistles," that have "spoken" to Gentiles and believers alike for centuries as a part of the New Testament.
Did these men fulfill their destinies? You bet they did! And you will too. The Bible tells us that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Heb. 13:8), so you can rest assured that God will do for you what He did for them.
Don't let the season of preparation discourage you or dampen your faith. Don't let it obscure your vision. Hang on! If you have a promise, you'll see the presentation—just like all the saints who have gone before.

If If you've read the Book of Acts, you've read how Saul of Tarsus (aka Paul the apostle) had a life-changing encounter with Jesus.
As a zealous Jew, Saul was persecuting fellow Jews who believed that Jesus was the Messiah, and then Jesus appeared to him.
Paul tells the story years later, "As I was on my way and drew near to Damascus, about noon a great light from heaven suddenly shone around me. And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?' And I answered, 'Who are you, Lord?' And he said to me, 'I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.'" (Acts 22:6-8)
What happened next? Let me share the next part of the story, not according to the Scriptures, but according to the contemporary American gospel version, with Paul narrating for us:
"And I said to the Lord, 'What do you have for me?'
"And He said to me, 'I have a wonderful life of health, wealth, and success for you.'
"And I said to Him, 'And what do you require of me?'
"And He said to me, 'I require nothing of you at all. I just want to take away your guilt and make you happy. Simply believe that I am good, say this little prayer, and I would be honored to have you as part of My family.'
"And I said to Him, 'That's an incredible deal. I'll take it.'"
Is that the gospel? Not a chance.
Let's go back to the Word and continue with the real account: "And I said, 'What shall I do, Lord?' And the Lord said to me, 'Rise, and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all that is appointed for you to do.'" (Acts 22:10)
That's quite different from the contemporary version!
"Lord, You require something of me? You have an assignment for me? And it's going to cost me personally to follow You?"
But this does not just apply to Paul.
Every believer has a specific calling and assignment, and every believer will have to give account to God one day, not for sins but for service.
As Paul wrote to the Corinthians, "You are not your own, for you were bought with a price" (1 Cor 6:19b-20a); and again, "[Jesus] died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised" (2 Cor 5:15); and again, "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil" (2 Cor 5:10).
We are saved to serve, and salvation means a life of obedience, not to earn our salvation but because He has saved us.
Sadly, that is not the message sounded from pulpits and broadcast on TV and internet around the world.
Instead, lost sinners are told that if they will simply believe in Jesus, God will give them a wonderful life – and I mean wonderful in the terms of this world.
To repeat: That is not the gospel.
Do I believe that God is the Healer and that we should pray for the sick with expectation of healing? Absolutely.
Do I believe that God meets our needs and enables us to bless others? Certainly.
But I do not believe – no, I am 100 percent sure about it– that we are to tell lost sinners that God promises them health and wealth if they will only believe in Jesus.
That is not the gospel that Jesus preached or that Paul or the other apostles preached. You will not find it anywhere in the New Testament, nor can you derive it from the "abundant life" promise of John 10:10.
Jesus said that in this world we would have tribulation (John 16:33), that in order to be His disciples we had to deny ourselves and take up the cross (Mark 8:34), that if we loved father or mother or son or daughter more than Him we were not worthy of Him (Matt 10:37).
(What a terrible shame that some teachers today claim that none of these words of Jesus apply to us since they were spoken before the cross. That is one of the more serious deceptions of our day.)
Now, to be perfectly clear, salvation is a gift, paid in full by Jesus.
It cannot be earned, and 10 million years of our best works cannot possibly pay for the gift of eternal life. And God forgives us, freely and fully, the moment we put our trust in Him to save us from our sins.
But when God saves us, He purchases us, and for the rest of our lives, we belong to Him and are called to do His will, completely given over to Him.
That is Gospel 101.
We serve Him because we love Him, and we serve Him because He is our Lord. (According to Paul, in order to be saved, we must confess Jesus as Lord, which means nothing if it does not include submission to Him.)
The bottom line is that we were guilty sinners, deserving of divine judgment, but Jesus took our place and died for our sins so that we could pass from death to life and from the kingdom of Satan to the kingdom of God, receiving eternal life and becoming His sons and daughters.
To lure sinners to Jesus with the "wonderful life" gospel is to do a disservice to them and to dishonor the Lord.
Quitter’s Turnaround Produces Centuries of Non-Quitters
Jim Croft
Rejection, misunderstanding, and hurtful experiences can be turned around by commitment to forgiveness and to God’s purposes. There is a beautiful story of this truth hidden in the pages of the New Testament and in Church History. It’s pertains to John Mark who authored the Gospel of Mark and to the Coptic Orthodox Church that evolved from the church that he founded in Alexandria, Egypt.
John Mark was the son of a notable family of the Jerusalem church. He was the young cousin of Barnabas who was a friend and supporter of Paul’s for the first 12 years after his conversion from persecutor of Christians to a champion of the faith. Mark and the 2 men traveled from Jerusalem 300 miles north to Antioch, Syria. Mark’s role with the team’s first missionary journey might be described as a servant deacon. (Acts 12:12, 25, 13:1-13)
The first stop was Paphos, Cyprus and from there the threesome sailed to Perga which was a port city on the mid-southern coast of Turkey. It was there that John Mark angered Paul and disappointed his cousin Barnabas by abruptly choosing to quit the journey and return to Jerusalem. Paul and Barnabas continued to evangelize new regions by preaching and performing miraculous wonders in the midst of persecution riots, beatings and stoning. About 2 years later they made their way back to Jerusalem after staying for a while with the Antioch fellowship that had sent them forth.
We do not know why Mark abandoned the journey. For sure he felt awkward as the two churchmen reported all that God had done through them after his departure. It would not be unreasonable to suspect that the young man wanted to avoid direct eye contact with Paul. In spite of his previous blunder, Barnabas insisted that Mark accompany the team on their second missionary journey.
Paul was adamant that the quitter who left the work in Perga would not be permitted the honor of serving in another outreach with him. The contention was so strong that Paul and Barnabas parted company after years of effective ministry and loving friendship. Paul chose Silas and set out to go deeper into Syria. Barnabas and Mark headed for Cyprus. (Acts 15:36-41)
All rejection is painful, but spiritual rejection has to be among the hardest to rationalize. This is because there are inherent expectations that Christians are obligated to exercise a brand of forgiveness that lets bygones be bygones without proof of change. We do not know whether or not Mark was present during Paul and Barnabas’ heated discussion. For sure, he became painfully aware that the apostolic powerhouse Paul did not think that he possessed the saltiness expected of believers who would stay the course no matter what. Unquestionably, Satan haunted the young man with guilt for the responsibility of breaking up the dynamic Paul and Barnabas duo.
At this juncture, John Mark had to make choices: Would he grovel in sniveling hurt and return to mommy in Jerusalem? Or, would he man-up, forgive Paul’s attitude as justifiable, and determine to trust God to rectify his reputation? He chose the latter and God endeared him not only as a favorite of Paul’s, but also of the apostle of great stature, Peter.
Here are phrases that the apostles later used in relation to previously rejected John Mark. Paul said: If Mark comes to you, welcome him as I instructed (Col. 4:10); Mark is useful in ministry for me, bring him with you (2 Tim. 4:11); and Mark, my fellow apostle (Philemon 1:24).
Peter referred to Mark as his son in the faith (1 Pet 5:13). John Mark wrote the Gospel of Mark. There are credible manuscript researchers who believe that Peter entrusted the writing of his remembrance of his years with Jesus to John Mark.
All of this represents quite a promotion from the rejection that he experienced early on in his ministry. In addition, Mark’s determination to prove himself a non-quitter lives on in his spiritual descendants to this very day. Mark established the first church in Alexandria, Egypt comprised of original Egyptians 600 years prior to the Arab Islamic Jihad invasion. That church has evolved into what is known as the Coptic (Egyptian) Eastern Orthodox Church. It has branches all over the world with heavy concentration in the Middle East stretching from Kuwait westward past Libya.
Coptic church in Aswan, Egypt
The Coptic Church has a style of liturgical service and clergy apparel similar to that of the Russian and Greek Orthodox. At this point some readers might be tempted to yawn thinking that the chants, smoke, smells, and bells of traditional orthodox Christianity has little value in effective evangelism. There you would be badly mistaken.
The free independent Charismatic fellowships and Evangelical churches of the West are not necessarily more effective in outreach without overt persecution than the Copts have been in the face of 14 Centuries of bloody Islamic persecution. I am speaking of the rape of daughters; burned churches and businesses; imprisonment, beatings, and martyrdom of Egyptian Christians for their faith.
Mark’s spiritual posterity, the Copts are not quitters and have a proven evangelistic methodology. In spite of the persecution, the Copts produce more doctors, engineers and business professionals per capita than the Muslim community. Interestingly, the Copts have earned the reputation of being far more honest than Muslims in their dealings with employers and their customers. For this reason Arabic speaking Copts are choice employees with many business firms throughout the Middle East.
Young Copts who want to spread the Gospel volunteer to move to other Muslim lands. They do not press for one on one evangelistic encounters to make instant converts. The objective is to let the differences between the quality of their home lives and vocational accomplishments and that of Muslims speak to encourage those who observe them to initiate inquiries. This lowers chances of torture for attempts at proselytizing Muslims.
Simultaneous to this, the Coptic services are broadcast on radio and are televised from stations in free countries. At certain times the liturgies for divine healing and deliverance are emphasized by priests over the airwaves. Whatever the case, many Muslims listen and watch what we think are dead and dry traditional liturgies and thousands become secret believers yearly.
Contrary to what we might think, the worldview of everyone does not match that of Westerns. We tend to imagine that if a method is not innovative that it cannot possibly be of God. Middle Easterners are different in that they prefer traditions that have proven stability that has withstood the tests of time. In this regard many Muslims have secret admiration for the spiritual descendants of John Mark who have stayed the course and have not quit in the face of generations of severe challenges to their faith.
When I meditate on John Mark and the Copts, it makes me want to gird up my faith to have greater stick-to-it-tiv-ness. What say you?
“…and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's
steward, and Susanna, and many others who were contributing to their support
out of their private means.” (Luke 8:3, NASU)
Dear family of
friends,
Have you ever heard of
the book, “How Should We Then Live?” It was written by Francis A. Schaeffer in
1955. I read it in the 80’s and remember it gave me something to ponder (dictionary:
to think about (something) carefully, especially before making a
decision or reaching a conclusion.)
Lately even more so I
have been asking the Lord about the way we support Christian ministries - how
they request funds, and how should we then respond. Or as I keep seeking of the
Lord, “how shall we then give?”
What is His plan? Is His
example the same as the model we have basically followed for the last 30 years,
as we respond to requests from monthly ministry contribution mailings,
commercials on radio and TV showing needs abounding all over, e-mails coming
into our InBox, or through websites having ads on almost every site we get on?
I have been pondering.
As I am sure you have,
we have heard it all. Tithe here. Send your offering there. “This need is real
urgent, call now the 800 number shown on your screen.” Is that really how our
Prime Example, Jesus (Yeshua) did it? Of course, you and I know He didn’t have
all this modern technology, but isn’t His Word eternal, the same yesterday,
today and forever, and we can learn from Him? We should learn from Him. That
also holds true in how we support ministry.
If you believe that, yes, His example given in His Word is true, there is something then that we can learn by HOW HE DID IT. We can learn from Him as to how
His ministry was provided for. Might we then consider reconsidering how we give
- in our support of those we do now, or for those whom we should be, but haven’t been supporting,
and now should instead?
Here is one example of how Jesus did it. His ministry means was provided by those who knew Him. In fact, Scripture even gives specific names of some who gave provision
for the ministry of Jesus. The first three verses of Luke 8 read, "Soon afterwards, He began going around from one city and village to another, proclaiming and preaching the kingdom of God. The twelve were with Him, and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demonshad gone out, and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others who were contributing to their support out of their private means."
We can learn from the importance of why the writer Luke even specifies the names of some women (that note
well taken.) These people were those who personally knew the one they were
supporting. I would imagine they even walked with Him, saw how He ministered,
knew His family and certainly knew His lifestyle. Because they knew, they gave in support of His work.
They gave to the one they were familiar with and trusted.
How familiar are you
with the one who has the costly half hour infomercials, and after convincing you
to give your $10, $25 or more, “for the need is great”, do you ever see or
know exactly where it has gone? (Most likely a good percentage of it will have to go to
pay for the TV production, airtime, staff and more.)
Having worked with
three major ministries, as the Director of Operations and Finances over a
period of 24 years (these each having budgets of over one million dollars annually)
I daily saw how money was raised and spent. And on a regular basis I did
reviews of other ministries with large budgets and expenditures, to gain
further perspective. It will amaze you, and at times it did me. Years later it caused
me to seriously consider how funds for our ministry, Love For His People, would
come in.
My encouragement to
you would be to give to those ministers and ministry whom you personally know. By
having a relationship with them, and not just in giving money, you can see how
they themselves live. This will very well be a good indication as to where your
generous gifts are actually going. Or you might even get to know the ones that their work
assists. This too is a good indicator.
But if you can’t do
that, might you yourself ponder for a bit and seek the Lord, if you are to
redirect your giving? Jesus knew His supporters, and they knew Him. His
ministry didn’t get so large that the relationship was no longer there among
His supporters.
I believe the time
will come, sooner than later, that the Lord will shake down in size those ministries
that have gotten too big, and the relationships aren’t real. He will have caused
us to join together and support one another in small teams, where the huge
expenditures for big TV budgets, radio airtime, and staffs won’t be the norm.
He will get us back to basics, just as He and Paul did it. And we know what
they accomplished.
The Word also says to “Know
those who labor among you” in 1 Thessalonians 5:12. It might also mean to know
those who you support for the work of the ministry. To me, that speaks of an
ongoing relationship. Jesus knew how to do it. Paul knew how to do it. I want
to follow their examples in how you and I do it.
