So Paul stood in the midst of Areopagus and said, "Men of Athens, I observe that you are very religious on all respects.....I also found an altar with the inscription, "TO AN UNKNOWN GOD". Therefore what you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you.
Acts 17:22-23
In Athens, Greece, the Apostle Paul found himself among the intellectual learners of the world. Around him were all the images of idolatry to every god in Greek Mythology. Paul knew that the God of Heaven and Jesus our redeemer is greater than all human knowledge, and all religion, so he did to hesitate to stand up for God preaching the good news. Sometimes we may be intimidated by intellectuals and the super spiritual, but don't be. Paul was successful, and we can be too when we stand up for Jesus.
