Paul's Transition to Cruciform Ministry
Before his conversion, Paul sought to impress God by coercing people into a zealous following of Torah, using force and competition. However, after his conversion, he embraced a cruciform ministry characterized by humility and self-emptying. By identifying with the shame and weakness embodied by Christ, Paul shifted from defining himself over and against sinners to sharing in their low status claims, emphasizing service, humility, and partnership with his ministry colleagues.
