Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.
Paul made it his custom to enter the synagogues of the cities he passed through. It makes sense; the Jews should know the Scriptures (Old Testament) and be primed to hear the good news of the Messiah. But of course, God had prepared Paul to be a minister to the Gentiles like Peter was to the Jews.
I do love Paul's interaction with the idol worshippers in Athens. He starts, as he always did, in the synagogue, but also speaks in the marketplace every day with whoever happens to be there. He just wanted people to know Jesus. The crowds were so intrigued by his teaching about a "foreign divinity" that they brought him to the Areopagus to speak to those gathered there. The locals spent all of "their time in nothing except telling or hearing something new." I think what I love about Paul here is threefold:
First, he was always willing to talk about Jesus in any venue presented to him.
Second, he was fully equipped to talk about Jesus.
Third, he was well-studied and was able even to quote the poets of the Athenians. (see verse 28)
As to point one; I have been that guy since I was fifteen. I am always willing to talk about Jesus. More so now in the second half of my life.
