Making Love Last | Week 3 | Monday
Showdown at the OK Corral...
Paul, still in exile, seems to have a lot of freedom since the Romans can't find reason why he should be put to death. So he starts holding Journey Classes (as we call them at Granger).
Many of the higher ups in the Jewish community cam to listen to Paul talk about Jesus and the way He had changed things. Some believed and others did not. But there was definitely a showdown. There was debate and dispute among the Jewish leaders. Mainly because the very thought of what Paul said required them to lose their high and lofty positions for a more common existence as a follower of Jesus.
Had to be difficult for them.
And Paul, though in prison, got to do this for 2 years. What a witness he must have been to many.
