THIRD MISSIONARY JOURNEY
_Scripture, Acts 18:23-21:17_
+Method.+--A study of the three missionary journeys
shows the method of evangelization of the ancient world.
The first journey was comparatively near home. The
second was a review of the work done in the first and a
pushing on to new work in Asia Minor and the larger
conquests in Europe. In the third we have a review visit
to the churches of Asia Minor, a long stop at Ephesus,
and a review visit to the churches of Macedonia and
Achaia, which were organized upon the second missionary
journey. There was always a method in what Paul
did. He was not only a missionary preaching and testifying
to Jesus Christ, but he was an organizer and leader of
men. The churches formed were visited again and again;
messengers were sent to them to instruct, to chide, and
to encourage them; circular and special letters from
Paul's own hand were dispatched to them, when occasion
required. Wherever Paul preached, whatever might be
the tumults raised, he always won some adherents for
Jesus Christ, who were brought together and organized
into a church.
On this third journey he was already planning to go to
Rome (Acts 19:21) and wrote an epistle to the Romans
announcing his coming (Rom. 1:7, 15).
