Why was this converted Pharisee and one-time hater of Jesus the Nazarene now so passionate about the cross on which He was crucified? And why was the preaching of that cross so vital to him? Paul gives his answer to us in an amazing statement, “It pleased God ... to reveal his Son in me”(Gal. 1:15, 16). He was from that point integrated into the very heart of the One he calls, Lord! That experience was much more than a revelation to him. For him to live, the totality of all that he was, was Christ. May it be so with us too. —Drew Craig
