Paul was brought to Athens by those who had gotten him out of Berea.  They also sent word for Silas and Timotheus to join him there.  We have not heard much about Timotheus since they started on their journey, but he was still with them.  When we are doing God's work, people may not know our name as well as others, but that doesn't mean that what we are doing is unimportant.  We know the names of very few of the first century Christians, but we see the results of their work anytime the gospel is proclaimed today.  If not for all the unknown Christians in the first century, and every century since, continuing to spread the gospel, the church would not exist. Outside forces can never destroy the church, but the apathy of the Christians can.  If at any point in time we fail to reach the next generation, there will be no church.  So, our greatest concern should not be what the world may do to us, but instead should be what we are going to do for the world.  Paul and Silas were accused of turning the world upside down for Christ.  We need to be accused of the same thing.  It is not enough to sit back and say the end is near and we will win.  We need to be spreading the gospel so that the lost can win today by accepting the salvation of Christ.  The first century Christians thought Christ would return soon, as has every generation since.  It gave them a sense of urgency to proclaim the gospel so the lost might be saved.  We need the same urgency.  Any time we begin to rejoice at the death of any lost person, no matter how bad they may be or how much they may have hurt us, we have lost sight of who we are as God's people.
