WHY THE APOSTLE PAUL DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW ANYONE AFTER THE FLESH?
Some would consider Paul's statement to be one of a hermit, or at best, a mystic who wanted to live in a cave. However, both of those thoughts are not true because Paul knew what it would take to make the bridge between Jesus, the man, and Jesus, the Christ, the son of God.
In the book of Ephesians 3:3, Paul makes the statement. This wonderful mystery, which I briefly described, was given to me by divine revelation so that whenever you read it, you will be able to understand my revelation and insight into the secret mystery of the Messiah.
The Holy Spirit knew that if Paul had gone directly to Jerusalem, after his supernatural experience, on the road to Damascus, he would've learned and been trained in the outward expressions of Jesus, the man.
If the New Testament church were anything like today's church, they would've taken Paul to all the hotspots and pointed out where Jesus healed the sick. He would've met Jesus, his mother, and his brothers and heard the story of his childhood and how God spoke to him as a young man.
This is what Paul meant when he said he knew no one after the flesh.
In the same manner that the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness, the Holy Spirit directed Paul to spend 14 years alone, separated from the physical flesh history of Jesus, the man.
When Paul came to Jerusalem and introduced himself to the disciples, he had received that revelation of Jesus, the Christ, the son of the living God.
It's upon that foundation that the church of Jesus has been built and grows today because we understand who Christ is to us.
