Read Acts 17:16-34
Paul is known for being bold and speaking his mind. He presented his facts well and persuaded many to listen to the words of love God wants to speak into every heart.
On one occasion while visiting Athens, he was preaching in an area where non-believers were interested in the latest ideas. Paul was creative enough to use an object those people were familiar with to help them understand the God they didn’t know. By mentioning the altar of the unknown god, he illustrated how God draws people closer to his love without them even realizing that it’s God who’s drawing them.
Paul’s creativity stirred new thoughts in these people. The deep truths of God warmed their hearts. And they became believers.
A hero is someone who risks his life to save someone else’s. Paul went to prison several times for preaching the truth, but he never gave up. His persistence and creativity make Paul a great hero.
