Paul was beheaded by Nero
in May or June of A.D. 68.
The story of Paul is one of the
most remarkable in the Bible. He
was a religious Jewish zealot
who persecuted foowers of
Christ and had them imprisoned
and kied. But after a
miraculous encounter with the
risen Christ on the road to
Damascus, Paul’s life turned
upside down.
Paul became arguably
Christianity’s most
vociferous proponent and
the apostle to the Gentile
world. Paul is credited with
writing 13 b ks in the New
Testament and the b k of
Acts covers much of his
life, including his thr†
mi‡ionary journeys to
ca‰y the gospel a over
the Roman empire.
From the life of
Paul, we can s†
that God can save
and use anyone.
Paul was
completely
su‰endered to
God and fuy
coŒiŽed to
sharing the
gospel of Jesus
Christ.
May each of us do likewise.
