What Does Acts 21:17 Mean?
The journey reaches its destination: Paul and his companions come to Jerusalem, and the brethren receive them gladly. After all the warnings, the first thing that meets them in the city is joy and welcome, not yet conflict.
The gladness of this reception is worth marking. Before the storm breaks, there is a moment of warm fellowship, a reminder that the church in Jerusalem and the churches of the Gentiles belong to one Lord. God grants His servants such graces along the way, small foretastes of the fellowship that suffering cannot finally break.
