We stood at the highest point the Parthenon which housed the goddess Athena and Mars Hill or the Areopagus, a rocky outcropping at the top of the city. When the apostle Paul had been evangelizing about His Lord to the Epicureans and the Stoics, they brought him here before the city council. As you sit on the Areopagus, you can imagine Paul sharing his message from Acts 17:22-31, with the temple to the goddess Athena in his background view. We also visited the destroyed temple to the goddess Athena by the Persians in 480 BC next to the Temple of Poseidon. Though each of these temples were destroyed including the Jewish temple, only one has been raised again! He alone is alive as are we, now that we are His adopted children. All praise be to God!
