Reflexion, A Spiritual Community

A Different Gospel - Pt. 1 Galatians 1:1-10

I’m going to make this simple, and show you what I see in the introduction to this letter

First, there’s something different about the way it begins
- in Paul's usual typical greetings he identifies himself, his title, and whoever else is with him
• then, he greets and blesses his readers with, “grace and peace”
• but in this letter, before he mentions his companions, he takes a detour
◦ he turns this simple greeting into a strong assertion
- humans had nothing to do with Paul becoming an apostle
it was “not from man nor through man”
- this cuts to the heart of what Paul wants to say in this letter
• he’ll spend most of the first two chapters with autobiography
◦ how he was inspired and the revelations that came to him
• but that is because Paul is very upset, as will become obvious

◦ you will recognize how Paul is dealing with the Galatians
