dc.description.abstract | Paul uses different metaphors and linguistic expressions to describe his mystical
experience of meeting Christ on the Damascus Road. The Risen Christ revealed Himself to
Paul as “a light and voice from heaven”. This is repeated in three accounts of the Damascus’s
event in the Acts of the Apostles. Paul recognized there “a thorn” (cf. 2 Co 12:7), which had
become a constant torment reminding him of his weaknesses. On the road, to Damascus Paul
recognized himself as “a child born abnormally” (cf. 1 Co 15:8) reanimated by the encounter
with Christ. Paul, “a first among sinners”, experienced God’s mercy. Because of this, his
previous religious life in Judaism was found as worthless. The former gain turned out to be
a loss. Paul used drastic expressions: he threw away into the garbage what had caused him
this loss; he got rid of the dung and the stinky waste (cf. Ph 3:7—9). His former religious life
he called as unbelief. His true gain and the only value became, from now on, a life of faith
in Christ Jesus. Paul recognized the new way of justification: not by the works of the Mosaic
Law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. An original metaphor taken from sports served Paul to express
the Damascus’s event: “like wrestling, Christ took hold of me”. The hold of Jesus — the
winning wrestler — was very beneficial to Paul. God revealed to Paul his Son and because
of this the Apostle’s life became a life of faith in Christ. From this event, Christ lived in Paul.
Everything Paul does if to be found in Jesus.
The variety of linguistic expressions related to the Damascus’s event shows the depth
of the mystical experience of Paul. What is impossible to say directly in human language
must be communicated by means of original linguistic expressions. This is characteristic of
mysticism. | pl_PL |
