Paul's long journey to Jerusalem was over (Acts 19:21; Acts 20:22). He did not know exactly how he would be accused by the religious leaders and handed over to the Gentile authorities (Acts 21:10-11) but his priority was to encourage the believers that God's Word was powerful and had been received in what is now Cyprus, Turkey and Greece. The Christians in Jerusalem, who had their own struggles (Romans 15:26), were delighted to welcome Paul and his team and to hear how God had turned the hearts of many Gentiles to trust in Jesus.

“Word@Work has been a tremendous source of authentic teachings and encouragement in the Christian faith!! Unfortunately, I often cannot make it to my church's Bible study, and so Word@Work has been a great substitute. Not only do the messages come as a devotional but it gives background information for better understanding of the times back then and Word@Work always makes it easy to relate to today's world. ”
