A Revelation Within
Commentators explain that God revealing His Son "in me" was more than just an external vision. It was a deep, internal transformation within Paul's mind and soul. This personal, saving knowledge of Christ, as scholars like Ellicott and Gill note, was the necessary foundation for his mission. As Matthew Henry puts it, it is of little benefit to have Christ revealed to us if he is not also revealed in us.
