Moses and Paul are two of the most recognized names in the Bible. Their stories are different, yet they shared a common ground: neither man knew God.
The Mount Sinai experience is all about God introducing Himself to Moses, and the Damascus Road was where Christ introduced Himself to Paul.
Now let us read the story of a third man, a priest of the Jews, who did not know God.
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily I say unto you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3: 1-3)
Moses and Paul were born again believers, for neither could have done the works that they did except God be with them.
Nicodemus became a born again believer and a disciple of Christ, but he could have never done that except God be with him.
Christ comes to people to introduce Himself, and when we accept Him, then we become disciples of the Lord; for we could not do the works that we do except God be with us.
The Bible is the story of how God comes to us, and He comes to us through His only begotten Son, for the name of Jesus means, "God is salvation".
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4: 12)
