What Does Acts 21:7 Mean?
The last leg of the sailing brings them from Tyre to Ptolemais, a harbor town further down the coast. There Paul greets the brethren and stays one day before continuing overland toward Jerusalem.
Again the pattern holds: wherever the ship lands, there are saints to greet. The body of Christ has taken root all along this coast. Even a single day of fellowship is worth seeking out. The communion of believers is not a luxury for settled times but a gift to be claimed at every stop on the way.
