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’
