To whom were the great truths of salvation revealed after the ascension?
After Christ finished the work of the cross, ascended back to glory, and sent the Holy Spirit, the great truths of salvation were revealed to the Apostle Paul. He is the apostle many push aside, yet these doctrines were made known to him.
Les explains that after Christ completed the work of the cross, ascended back to glory, and sent the Holy Spirit, these great truths of salvation were revealed to this other apostle, Paul—the one many like to push back in the corner and do not want to fool with. During Christ’s earthly ministry, the cross had not yet been accomplished, so death, burial, and resurrection could not yet be preached. Luke 18 shows Jesus told the disciples He would be spit upon, beaten, put to death, and rise the third day, but they understood none of it because it was hidden from them.
