A native of Tarsus of Cilicia, Paul was “a Hebrew of Hebrews,” a Pharisee and well advanced in Judaism beyond many of his peers (Philippians 3:5-6). His initial reaction to the newly formed Christian movement was to zealously persecute it (Acts 8:1). Paul’s dramatic conversion while on the road to Damascus was clearly a life-altering event, changing him from being one of early Christianity’s most ardent persecutors to being one of its most fervent supporters (Acts 9).
We begin Advent with Paul’s very first letter, 1 Thessalonians, whose main theme is Christ’s Second Coming. I invite you to come, sit at the feet of the blessed apostle, as he points us to the sure and certain hope that Jesus will come again “with clouds descending!”
