When Paul said goodbye to the Ephesian elders in Acts 20, he was at a turning point. He had faced riots, rejection, and relentless trials. Yet he kept going. He believed the mission of Christ was worth ever tear, every danger, and every mile. We live in a world where giving up feels easier than pressing on. This is true in ministry, marriage, parenting, and faith. Acts 20 serves as a remind that faithfulness is costly, but it’s worth it.
