1 Corinthians 15:7-8, One Born Out of Due Time

1 Corinthians 15:7-8 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

The resurrection Christ appeared to all the apostles including James and lastly by Paul himself on the road to Damascus:

Acts 9:1-6 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

It turned the entire direction of his life. He felt himself most unworthy because he persecuted the church. He considered himself to have as it were an immature birth, as a baby who is out of the mother’s womb earlier than the due term of birth.

Indeed, can anyone be worthy of salvation? It is by the grace of God. Praise God for His salvation grace. Amen.
