Early Saturday morning we arrive at the port of Piraeus and disembark the Ocean Majesty for a transfer to the airport and the return flight home.
It was a wonderful trip. In addition to the tours to the islands, we were treated to wonderful Christian fellowship; too much good food, gospel music, and one evening a Greek dance troupe came aboard ship to entertain us.
It was a wonderful trip. In addition to the tours to the islands, we were treated to wonderful Christian fellowship; too much good food, gospel music, and one evening a Greek dance troupe came aboard ship to entertain us.The memory that will be the most lasting in our minds about this trip is the sacrifices that the dear saints Paul and John endured to spread the gospel of Jesus, not only to the Jews but also to Gentiles like us. They didn’t have the luxury of an ocean liner and air conditioned tour buses to get from place to place. They didn’t have a beautiful hotel to sleep in. They endured many hardships to get the message of Jesus out to a lost world. Paul records his trials and difficulties in II Corinthians, Chapter 11.
We today are so blessed to have the teachings of Paul and John throughout the New Testament. We should never take for granted the many sacrifices that the saints before us have made to keep the Gospel alive. It is our prayer that future generations can say that we were faithful in keeping the Gospel alive for them!
