Paul’s Travel Plans

25 But before I come, I must go to Jerusalem to take a gift to the believers there. 26 For you see, the believers in Macedonia and Achaia have eagerly taken up an offering for the poor among the believers in Jerusalem. 27 They were glad to do this because they feel they owe a real debt to them. Since the Gentiles received the spiritual blessings of the Good News from the believers in Jerusalem, they feel the least they can do in return is to help them financially.


There is a phrase I remember hearing as I grew up in my family. Remember those who brought you over. It is used in the context of honor given to your parents, elders or ancestors. We should never forget the sacrifices made by them on our behalf.

The Apostle Paul was participating in this practice as he returned to Jerusalem with a gift for the believers there.

Who was responsible for bringing you the Good News? What have you done to say thank you to them? Remember those who brought you over.
