Mnason's Reception

Acts 21:15-18 
15 And after those days we packed and went up to Jerusalem. 16 Also some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us and brought with them a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we were to lodge. 17 And when we had come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly. 18 On the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.

Paul and company finally arrive in Jerusalem and stay with Mnason mentioned in Pilgrims Progress.  Their fellow believers there welcomed them heartily.  The next day they went to the leader and elders of the church to tell of how God had used the gospel at their hands and tongues to glorify God in Jesus Christ.  What a joyful and blessed meeting this must have been!  Think of not only being used by God in such ways for His kingdom, but then to share and see the joy of others reliving it with you…
