Paul and his purpose

In Acts 9:15-16 we are told, “But the Lord said unto him, “Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.” I doubt that any of us would know Jesus had it not been for Paul. The only problem is that we don’t want to leave the old teachings and the four walls behind and adopt the teachings of Christ. Paul is one of many bridges to Christ. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
