Where was Paul’s family? Through his conversion, missionary work, and all of his difficulties, we only hear once of a nephew helping him while he was in prison in Caesarea. But as Paul nears the close of his letter to this church he hasn’t yet visited, we see the amazing new family God has blessed him with. This Advent, as we journey to Bethlehem to celebrate the birth of our Messiah and as we look forward to our Reunion when He returns, let us also celebrate a Reunion together, our new family, the body of Christ.
This 5-week series during Advent focuses on our being Reunited with God and together now, and finally when Christ returns. We join the Romans looking forward to Paul’s visit, as we prepare to celebrate Christ’s birth and look forward to His return.
