Ask any old actor or entertainer who has enjoyed the applause and accolade of the people, yet enjoys such no longer. And if he tells you the truth. he will tell you that such is what King Solomon called Vanity of Vanity, all vanity. The most notoriously bad actor in all of history is, strangely enough, historys greatest actor. Born in Tarsus, Asia Minor in 5 A D. Saul. Possibly to become Governor of Asia minor or Syria, maybe even Cesar if God had not dealt with him on the Old damascus Road. Yes, he visited Rome, but not as Cesar, rather to tell the Romans of THE ONE who confronted him on the Road asking SAUL SAUL.. why persecute you Me....SAINT PAUL DID appear in an amphitheater which stands today even, the amphitheater of Corinth where he spoke "the Jews seek a sign and The Greeks Seek wisdom" - There is none save in Christ... Yielding his neck to the sword in 67, Pauls life was the life of a bad actor , and faded vainglory which he gladly surrendered for ETERNAL GLORY OF CHRIST.. |
