When it comes to walking the Christian life, we can find few better examples of how close a saved sinner can walk with God than the Apostle Paul. Unlike the other Apostles, Paul did not spend years as an eyewitness to the earthly ministry of Jesus. He learned about Jesus through the Old Testament. He studied, applied, repented, and lived the gospel.
This week we begin a new series of episodes focusing on the most biographical section of Paul’s writings, 2 Corinthians 2:12-6:10. These show us not just what Paul did, but what realities drove his decisions and actions.
Jesus gives us the command to “Follow Me,” but how do we know what that looks like. Paul is a wonderful example and he provides a pattern for us. To that end, we seek to follow the follower to walking in the footsteps of Jesus.
