Missio Dei | Week 6 | Acts 16:1-15 | “Going Intercontinental”

Missio Dei | Week 6 | Acts 16:1-15 | “Going Intercontinental” Luke leaves Barnabas and John-Mark behind and focuses our attention on the travels of Paul and Silas. This section is a classic Lukan overview, in which he covers a prolonged period of time and just as many miles in only a handful of verses. Paul travels the Via Sebaste, or "the Imperial Road," and the narrative passes through almost every major city along this famous route. Bear in mind that, on a good travel day, a person would cover roughly 15 miles on foot, 20 if pressed, less if the terrain was rugged and/or the weather unfavorable.[1] In light of this, the travel time alone in this section spans at least two months. But considering Paul often had lengthy stays in a variety of cities along the route, it likely took him about half a year to travel from Antioch to Philippi. But what’s truly remarkable about this relatively small portion of Acts is that, by the end of it, Paul will officially set foot on a new mainland: Europe. And so, for the first time, his missionary travels are international, spanning two continents. The gospel transcends borders, reaching all who answer God's call. [1] Dunn, James D.
