as if to one born prematurely: Paul apparently refers to his own experience when he was still known as Saul. When Saul had a vision of Jesus in heavenly glory, it was as if Saul had been granted the honor of being born, or resurrected, to spirit life ahead of time, centuries before that resurrection was to occur. This experience abruptly halted Saul’s course of murderous opposition to the Christian congregation and brought about a remarkable change in him. (Ac 9:3-9, 17-19) He became the apostle Paul, one of the foremost defenders of the Christian faith. Because of this unique vision, Paul was able to add his own experience as a witness to the list of many other witnesses of the resurrection of Jesus.—1Co 15:6-10.
