In a comedy, a person was asked … what is an epistle? “It’s easy”, he said. “An epistle is the wife of an apostle” And that brings us to Apostle Paul. In the records of the acts of the apostles, St Paul had three missionary trips with his companions and one on his own in chains, which must have been a pretty uncomfortable trip from Jerusalem to Rome. It is ironic in a nice way that the man who could not stand Christians a single moment was the one spending a lot of time trying to convert non-believers to Christianity to an extent of being jailed for that reason. Unlike what most would believe, the first St Paul’s missionary journey did not start from Jerusalem. Instead, he started in Antioch, which was established in Syria by believers who were running away from persecution in Jerusalem by people like Paul, then known as Saul. His first journey included places such as the Island of Cyprus, Antioch of Pisidia, Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe. On his next journey, Paul argued with Barnabas over the presence of John Mark and the argument was so heated that they separated and St Paul took Silas with him. In this journey, Paul went back to the churches in the first journey to see if they were still keeping the gospel fire burning. Still in the second missionary journey Paul went to Europe and stopped at Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens. The third missionary trip saw the saint pass through Ephesus, Troas, Miletus, and finally to Jerusalem. The fourth missionary journey involves St Paul alone; this was when he was incarcerated at the Caesaria. It is during this time that he was being transported and there was a shipwreck that saw the occupants of the ship end up on the island of Malta. St Paul is one of the most known Apostles because of his missionary journeys and letters to the many churches he assisted in creating. The amazing thing is that he changed way more people to Christianity than the believers he had persecuted. Combined with Peter, yes, The Rock, I think that is where the phrase “rob Paul to pay Peter” or is it rob Peter to pay Paul … came from Can you Search the points on the map?
