Excerpt from Notes of Readings in RomansPaul a slave, a bond-servant of Jesus Christ. This has a very sweet meaning - it is simply this, that he had no will of his own. A slave has no right to a will. He belongs to his master, and his only busi ness is to do the will of his master. And so we have in 1 Cor. Ix., Woe is me if I preach not the gospel. As a bond-servant he had to do it.Then, by calling, an apostle. That is, that he was called by Christ and sent out, for apostle means sent out. He was separated unto the good news from God concerning His Son Jesus Christ.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
