⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Jesus shows up for everyone, even when you feel like you don't belong or came to the party too late.

📚 Historical Context

In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul wrote his first letter to the Corinthians to address various issues in the church, including doubts about the resurrection of Jesus. In chapter 15, Paul lists several eyewitnesses who saw the risen Christ, culminating with himself as the last one, emphasizing his unexpected and late calling. This reflects Paul's awareness of his own dramatic conversion from a persecutor of Christians to a devoted apostle.
