Through the Revelation of Jesus Christ
… I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ. (Galatians 1:12)
In today's reading from Galatians, the Apostle insists that his message to them was not something man-made. He did not make it up. He was not the bearer of a teaching of other teachers or leaders or schools of thought. In a similar way he would tell the Thessalonians that "when you received the word of God from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God." (1 Thessalonians 2:13) His message - the Gospel, he says - came to him from Jesus Himself, directly, in the dramatic conversion Paul experienced on the road to Damascus. It comes with the authority of God. As proof that he is not making things up, he points to the radical break the Gospel makes with his entire previous way of life. Furthermore, that this Gospel is so controversial and causes him so much difficulty and inconvenience tends to show, he says, that he is not motivated by the acceptance and esteem of others - not even the other Apostles.
It would be grand to have the sort of conversion experience that Paul had. Some people do. For most of us, our commitment and relief has come to us in quieter ways - no blinding lights, no voice from heaven - although also for many there have been moments of deep spiritual encounter. If not dramatic signs and wonders, there have been - and are - moments that are miraculous, moving, charged with meaning and significance. We do not wish to miss these moments or to down-play them. If our personal faith is a stubborn one, it is rooted in ongoing conversion over the course of our lives.
