The Apostle Paul

What was the proof of Paul's anointing as an apostle? Was it all the churches he planted, all the people who were saved, the fact that he could stand up and debate famous rabbinic leaders and win the debates? No, that was not his proof. It was not even the miracles, including raising someone from the dead (Acts 20). None of that was the proof of his anointing. The proof of his anointing was this – "I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus" (Gal. 6:17). He used the Greek word “stigmata”, which gives us the English word "stigmatize." He was willing to be accursed in his flesh in a visible way for the sake of Christ.
