Our trip to Greece was only a 36 hour trip but one that I will forever remember!
On our last day, as we were heading out of the country, we tooka detour and stopped at the Prison of Paul, a man imprisoned back in biblical times.
Acts 16:16-40 is the story of Paul & Silas' imprisonement.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+16%3A16-40&version=NIV READ ME!!!
An over view of the story and it's background go a little like this, The apostles and disciples of Jesus were regularly getting beaten and thrown into prison for their preaching work; a work that Jesus told them (and ALL Christians) to do (Matthew 28:18+19), as a way of spreading the good news of God's Kingdom. This instance was just a continuation of the same.(Revelation 2:10) Specifically, Paul had expelled a demon from a girl and the 'owners' of this girl were outraged because now she could no longer 'predict' the future, so they lost money.(Acts 16:16-24)
We read the scripture at the site, and we just took in the beutiful day and the amazing structures that still remained after 1000's of years! INCREDIBLE!
Much more to come!
Au Revior moi! Xxx.
