The presentation of the gospel or the good news to Greco- Roman ears would
be quite a challenge. If I was listening based on the information that we have
studied, I first would be quite skeptical because of my love for Judaism. The gospel
would be foreign to me because my limited knowledge would keep me holding on to
the traditions of the Torah. Christ dying on the Cross as a criminal and now being
announced as Lord and Savior fear would be a dominating factor as it related to
receiving him as Lord the Roman rulers had declared themselves to lord and god.
Greco- Roman rule told the region that they were lord and to worship them.
All of my economics were tied in the worshiping of them commerce and
funding came if we were to build a temple to the Roman god Augustus. Jesus being
presented as our true king and savior would cause to question the validity of the
statement. The disciples who was speaking would bring out the word of God and
show me how they found Jesus in the scripture and would prove the existence of
Christ who was crucified.
The power of his love for me would shine through and touch my heart.
Hearing about him coming back from death would attract me to him. Seeing the
change in the disciple would also cause me to be opened to his message. All of the
demi-gods were dead or in a tomb with some statures in their likeness. I would hold
on to the fact that no one could find him for he was gone and sitting on the right
hand of the father. These things would attract me to the message.
Oh happy day I heard the good news and now I have received the gospel and
a veil has been lifted off of my life nothing feels like this I accepted his love and he
pouring out of me. I am telling everyone I meet abought the change that has taken
place in my life. I now know his love has no boundaries, and it can reach to the

highest mountain. Love that has limit is what I want to tell the people when I look
back I wish that I would have come a lot sooner.
Glory and power are in his name I fell the power of love and freedom all over
my body and in my life. My conversion is quite a feat the Holy Spirit reached me in
the midst of emperors and demi-gods from Caesar to Gaius our culture have been
pushed to follow the self-aggrandizement of men. We have now heard the good
news and we are telling everyone we meet and the early church is growing.
The early church is developing and growing as the church going from house
to house. People are reaching family and friends and the glory of the lord is moving
throughout the land so much is happening that the Apostle are forbidden to preach
or teach the name Jesus, many are thrown in Jail and persecuted, but the church still
grows and spread all over the region. Churches are started in Ephesus, Philippi,
Corinth, and other cities like Thessalonica. God love is spreading and people are
changing dailey.
The gentile nations have received the word and whole regions are excepting
Christ. No matter the opposition Gods word is standing and revolutionizing the
Greco-Roman culture. Leaders are emerging as Christians The early church is alive
and well. With all the influence of the Greek culture, the word of God living and
moving in the hearts of the people.
