    In one of Paul's most discouraged moments, the Lord Jesus appeared to him and told him to cheer up, giving him several reasons why. We too should be buoyed by the same command and encouragements.

Ironically, years later, in the midst of WW2, he was asked to speak at the Oxford University commencement exercises. The ...read more
