The call of Saul of Tarsus is the most awe-inspiring of all the manifestations of God's grace. It is a blueprint for us who believe in this day of grace. He was the principal sinner, yet God made him foremost of his apostles. It was the grace of Jesus Christ that inundated him with faith and love. In the same grace is to be had today to the whole world. Once you receive this grace, and this peace that you have with God.

The 12 apostles were called by the Lord on Earth, before Jesus Christ's ascension. Saul was called by the ascended in a glorified Lord from heaven. The 12 were called in the land of Israel, but Saul was called outside the land. This is not a mistake this is the work of our Lord, and is the development of the distinction of the gospel of grace to the nation from the message of the 12.

Paul service was outside the land among the Hellenists and the uncircumcised. The original 12 were concerned with the earthly life of our Lord previous to His ascension. Paul was meant to herald revelation from our Lord in glory. Paul is now released to this higher calling, because by the middle of the book of acts God's chosen people Israel, had heard the memorandum of the kingdom and cast off their kingdom and their King.
