In the Footsteps of John and Paul
Ephesus; ancient commercial center of Asia Minor, with one of the ancient wonders of the world, the Temple of Diana, where the apostle John came, bringing Mary with him, and Paul spent several years of ministry, prompting the letter to the Ephesians and subject of the first letter to the churches in Revelation. Today we walked in the footsteps of John and Paul as we walked through the ruins of this ancient city, saw John's tomb in what is left of St. John's Basilica, the remains of Diana's temple, and imagined the beauty of this ornately constructed city when it was a bustling center. It is surreal to walk those same steps, think of the early church, the not too distant island of Patmos where John was exiled and recorded the Revelation of the Lord. It was a wonderful experience for all those attending the conference. On a light note, the first sign we saw on the shops as we pulled up to Ephesus was "Genuine Fake Watches Here." As one gal said, "That's the most honest advertising I've ever seen."
