When Paul preaches to the people of Athens, he is dealing with people who do not accept the authority of the Bible. He must find a different point of connection with these folks. As we see what Paul does, we learn important lessons about how we talk about Jesus to our family members, friends and others who do not know Jesus and who do not believe the Bible has authority. Paul ties in to a sense of longing he senses in them and proclaims that Jesus is the One they’ve been looking for. - Pastor Ron Kool
