Standing in the middle of the old town market place was a humbling experience.

We read these verses:
chapter 18 of Acts

12 While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a united attack on Paul and brought him into court. 13 "This man," they charged, "is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law."

14 Just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, "If you Jews were making a complaint about some misdemeanour or serious crime, it would be reasonable for me to listen to you. 15 But since it involves questions about words and names and your own law- settle the matter yourselves. I will not be a judge of such things." 16 So he had them ejected from the court. 17 Then they all turned on Sosthenes the synagogue ruler and beat him in front of the court. But Gallio showed no concern whatever.

The picture attached to this blog shows a small column before the judgement place in the middle of the old town. It is believed that this is where Paul stood before Gallio.

What a humbling experience to think that we stood there in the same place where Paul stood so long ago. The word if God has come alive, the stories there are not just stories but they are history, His-story!

Our faith and love for Him has grown today! Praise to His name
