Bible Reading Challenge Week 11 Day 3

Our reading challenge for the day is Acts 21-24. I’ll hit a few highlights. You make comments too and fill in the gaps. What strikes you as specially significant?

Acts 21 - See how widespread and fully-functioning the Church is - all sorts of believers in many places. yest the servants of the Gospel are under attack by those zealous for the Law.

Acts 22 - The crux of the problem was that the Gospel was for all nations, not just Israel. This is what brings persecution onto Paul by the Jews.

Acts 23 - Though by its typical policy the Roman government was not friendly to Jews and did not distinguish Jews and Christians, still they had constitutional protections for citizens. Paul is not afraid to use them. Are we?

Acts 24 - Paul makes his testimony of Christ clear and also points out that Christians are peaceable people. May we have the same testimony.
