Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.
Whether Apostle Paul ever made it to Spain is a matter of conjecture. Though I would love to prove that the Gospel got to Spain and even to the British Isles by the direct hand of the Apostle, I would prefer to stick with the Word of God. We simply do not know.
We do know that there was a desire to take the Gospel there. The heartbeat of first century Christians, the Apostles being their representatives, was for regions far beyond their own. The vision was to preach Christ worldwide.
Paul had been forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach to the East. That was obviously not the case for Peter. We know him to have been in Babylon. We have every reason to believe the Apostles, and other Christians, scattered to the unknown parts of the world to preach Christ.
Apostle Paul’s policy was to preach where Christ had not previously been known. It does not mean he never went to places where Christians already lived because he strongly desired to preach in Rome. It just means he always had a burden for and an eye open for an opportunity to go to the regions beyond.
May God give us such a burden
