Il bear branded on my body the marks Of
Jesus" Gal 6:l7
Paurs scars were the credentials that he
Was Christs servant. He had preached
and organized churches in Galatia. In his
absence false and jealous teachers came
from Judea and told the Galatians that
they had been imposed upon, that Paul
was no true apostle. They charged him
with. dishonesty, two-facedness and flat
terry In order to form a Pauline party
within the church. They denied 70 him
the authority of a real apostle, making
him an imposter. Thus the churches were
troubled and scattered.
Paul, learning OF the disaffection and
strife, hastens to write his defense: My
scars are my credentials" He had been
stoned once and dragged out and left for
dead. three times beaten with rods. five
times scourged with the horrible flagel-
lum." three times shipwreoked and many
times imprisoned. Just as a slave owner
was accustomed to burn the mark of his
ownership into the body OF his slave with
a red-hot branding iron, so Paul declares
that the scars OF his wounds are unques-
toned proofs that his authority to preach
is given by his Master, in whose service
he has received these marks
His scars show his surrender and devo-
ton to Jesus Christ. In his conversion on
the Damascus road his first question was.
Lord, what shall l do?" He had changed
masters in that soul-searching experience.
Henceforth to know and to do the win
of Christ were the passion OF his life.
Immediately / conferred not with flesh

his life. What need of other leadership?
He went nowhere except to preach Christ.

not deter him. Gaping wounds and white
