Same Sands

It amazing how real the Word of God is. Stories? no, events in the Bible happened on the same lands we live today

Apostle Paul who once was a persecutor of Christians got converted and became the greatest evangelist ever. This Lawyer, Tent-maker, Roman and Jewish Apostle dedicated all he had to ensuring that the love of Christ was shown to many people

Reading about his final journey from Jerusalem to Rome in Acts chapter 27 where he was till his death; we can see locations where he went, islands where he shared the gospel of our Lord Jesus and healed the sick and  raised first generation- congregations of Christians

These places are STILL real places today.

These are cities people live today -  digitised, commercial and with modern governments.

Wars have been fought and won, Territories have been conquered and renamed. Powerful men have come and gone, Influences have changed cultures… However it is good to know that bible events happened in our land 

We today, are a part of the then prophecy as we await the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ

The right thing for me and everyone today is to get on with  the right side of history.

What will our excuse be for not accepting the gospel when it had been preached from the centre of the world over 2000 years ago?
Many people who indeed are our past generations believed and were saved. Shouldn’t we also?

Do you believe in the Lord Jesus who died for you?
Come to him and be saved
Let us hear from Peter in Chapter 4 of the book of Acts

10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

‘Wise men still seek Jesus’
