First published in "A Witness and A Testimony" magazines, 1934, Vol. 12-5 with the following note: "The following messages were given at a conference in Basel [Switzerland] and have been translated back from the German. They are here reproduced as translated into English by a Swiss friend."
For Paul Christ was the unveiling of a heavenly world. From the time he saw the Lord the earthly order of things had gone for him. It was gone with the crucified One, and for ever set aside. The Risen One meant "all things new." In Him everything was raised to a new life, and that life was the perfect expression of the Son of God Himself. He was the measure, the fulness of all things. Everything has to be according to Him; everything has to be a reflection of Himself. Paul has accepted in all its consequences the separating line which God had drawn on the Cross between himself and the old world.
