“And the Scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And He was numbered with the transgressors” (Mark 15:28).

The risen, ascended, glorified Lord revealed a vast amount of new information to Paul. Paul referred to these revelations as “secrets.” God had revealed none of these things to the prophets. Jesus had not revealed these truths in His earthly ministry or to the Twelve. From Paul … ➡
