Does Jesus communicate directly with sinful men after His ascension?

Les explains that what Jesus said to the apostle Paul came from the ascended glory after the work of the cross, which makes all the difference. He states there is no direct communication between Jesus and sinful men once He ascended back to glory, except this man, Paul. Paul claims over and over that he saw the Lord face to face and that the Lord revealed these things. Les notes Paul never had a face-to-face confrontation with Christ in His earthly ministry, but he had quite a few after the work of the cross. This sets Paul apart, because everything in the Gospels is before Christ is crucified, and there is nothing in the four Gospels of the shed blood of Christ—it had not happened yet. Paul knows Christ crucified.
