Acts 21
-Paul and the team go back to Jerusalem despite the
prophetic words that he would be bound. *Application* Paul’s courage should
embolden us to step up for Christ in this Godless-secular age in which we live.
If we love the Lord we will not be cowards.
-Paul meets with the elders and reports all God has done
among the Gentiles. They advise him to purify himself and pay four men’s
expenses for head shaving (keeping the Law).
-Asian Jews stir up the Temple crowd and Paul is beaten and
seized by the Romans, but now he wants to address the Jewish crowd with the
gospel of Jesus Christ. *Application* What selfless heroics we see in this sold
out man of God. He will go through whatever punishment and sacrifices that it
takes to gain an ear for the message of Christ and His salvation. He typifies
here what he wrote about in Romans 12:1-2. Let us be that yielded to the
Spirit’s work in our lives!
Verse to Memorize:
Acts 21:13
