26.08.13 “Holy Spirit strategies” (Acts 19:1-20)

 

Have you given much thought to the many ways Jesus makes Himself known to such a wide diversity of people all around our world? Join me again in the great city of Ephesus in about 55ad with the apostle Paul, on his third missionary journey. This is his second visit to Ephesus and Acts 19:10 tells us Paul spent more than 2 years in this great city this time! By my calculation that is the longest time we have any record of Paul spending, in any one place, since Barnabas drew Paul from Tarsus to join him in Syrian Antioch, several years before. (Acts 11:25,26)  I find it fascinating that the Holy Spirit led the apostle Paul to engage multiple strategies in bringing the truth and power of the Gospel of Jesus to the city of Ephesus, and it causes me to ask how effectively Christians in your city and mine are bringing Jesus to our towns?
