Santiago,
A beautiful interpretation. I also see Paul as speaking to his inner self, and inner congregation. He is speaking to his hopes and fears, in a way that all must do. Each part within us must stand in judgement, so that we know the one who is to be brought to Christ. Paul saw that he was full of sin, and knew that he was not the one, but that because he saw that he was, he knew the one who would be was on his way. A beautiful story indeed. To me, Paul is seeking an inner, spiritual Christ, preparing for his own rebirth. A very touching story I can relate to.
Peace, Darrin |
