We read in Acts chapter 16 verse 9 how “a vision appeared to Paul in the night; [and] There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.” Notice what the man of Macedonia besought Paul for—“help!” So what was the response of Paul, this servant, this bond-slave of Christ? Did he go to them to help them sort out their financial ills? Did he go to them to help them sort out their social ills? Did he go to them to help them sort out their health ills? We read the answer to those questions is emphatically no. Rather, we read in the next verse, “And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured [Paul and those with him] to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel unto them” (Acts 16:10).
