Grace for your spirit March 18, 2011

Grace for your spirit
And coming to us, he took Paul's belt and bound his own feet and hands, and said, "This is what the Holy Spirit says: In the way the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. Acts 21:11

Everyone was fearful about Paul's return to Jerusalem except Paul. Paul felt that the resistance and opposition he would face would mean that great opportunities would follow. Was he right? After his arrest, he preached Jesus to multitudes in Jerusalem. Then he appeared before the Council. He preached to the Roman officials Felix, Festus, and Agrippa, a boat full of prisoners, the people on the island of Malta, and finally to the servants in the house of Caesar. All of this was possible because of conflict. Come on. Try to stop us some more. Let's turn the other cheek, and go the extra mile.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
