- Description
- Bewes speaks on the Church based on Acts 16:13. Paul and his co-workers were geographically on the threshold of the European continent. The meeting was unsophisticated and simple. An insignificant incident is interpreted as a major landmark by Luke; the Christian Church in its unobtrusive greatness and unobserved growth seen through the first noted European convert, Lydia. The great advances of the Christian faith are accomplished in this unremarkable way. The Church is revealed in its unheralded conquest against all odds. For us today, we are re-entering a pre-Christian era, akin to the Athens in the time of Paul. Previous attempts to destroy the Christian religion, such as in the efforts of Diocletian, resulted in the opposite outcome. The Christian cause is naturally unimpressive looking.
