The Long and Winding Road Home

Luke's travelogue of Paul's journey recounts not only places, but people along the way. He connects with disciples in Tyre and stays there seven days. But then he's away again, heading toward Jerusalem. There he will be arrested. At the news of his impending arrest, binding, and being handed over to the gentiles (echoes of Jesus' treatment!), he will not be dissuaded. He says, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
