Great Sermon!!
It's incredible to think of the journey that Paul entrusted his closet friends to deliver these particular letters to the many churches. The modern civilization of today would have made the process of delivering a whole lot easier. Speaks of a passionate dedication to provide an amazing service to such churches. On top of that, Paul himself was in tough spot too. What an amazing display of faith and love.
Personally, it's hard to fathom the immense challenge of traveling 600 miles presumably by foot or maybe an animal like a donkey. Not factoring in weather conditions, possible injuries, food supplies, robbers, where you're going to sleep and the stress of it all. The planning alone is a mind blowing one to consider and lots of responsibility.
In the end, with Paul's three journeys and imprisonment is also a hard thing to grasp because we are so use to a life of ease. Every challenge that was faced had to be done with great faith and relentless pursuit of remaining faithful to God.
