What Does Acts 15:36 Mean?
After some days in Antioch, Paul stirs: 'Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the LORD, and see how they do.' The first journey planted churches; Paul longs to know how those young believers stand.
Here is the heart of a shepherd behind all the travels of Paul. Converts are not conquests to be counted but brethren to be revisited, nurtured, and known by name. Love does not only announce good news; it goes back to see how the hearers fare. The Lord himself is a returning God — visiting, watching over, completing what he begins — and those who serve him learn the same faithful habit of return.
