A revelation of Jesus Christ.
Galatians 1:11-12, For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
How amazing that Paul was one of those who were zealously against the truth of Jesus Christ, actively persecuting His church when he was confronted by the risen Lord Jesus. And that confrontation was not to punish him, but to reveal to him the surpassing greatness of the grace of our Lord and his gospel. One of the worst persecutors, who even condoned murder of believers in Christ, was transformed into one who called himself a bond-servant to Christ. We can rejoice that He is willing to transform us, and even to use us in establishing His kingdom!
Transform me; use me in establishing Your kingdom, O Lord!
