Places
Joppa in Acts 11
JOP-uh
This place shows up in Acts 11:5: ““I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Acts 11:5
““I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.”
What kids can learn
When you hear joppa in Acts, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Acts 11:5 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
