Today we headed out to the old city of Joppa. The place is significant because it was here in Acts 10 the Peter was called by the Holy Spirit to go to Caesarea and share the Gospel with the Gentiles. As a result of Peter going the Holy Spirit fell on the Gentiles and they were baptized with the Holy Spirit. You might remember it was while Peter was in Simon the Tanner’s house that he had the vision of the sheet falling from the sky.
Also, it was from Joppa where Jonah ran from the Lord and headed to Tarshish. One more thing; Solomon had Hiram bring Cedars from Lebanon, they were brought to Joppa, dismantled and carried to Jerusalem for his house and the Temple of God. It was a blessed visit.
