Bible Reading Challenge Week 11 Day 4

Our reading challenge for the day is Acts 25-28. I’ll hit a few highlights. You make comments too and fill in the gaps. What strikes you as specially significant?

Acts 25-26 Paul uses the court system for his protection. He uses it legitimately within the bounds of the law and in keeping with its intent - the protection of the life of a Roman citizen against unlawful prosecution. How do Christians view the courts? Do we treat them as our friends or our enemies?

Acts 27-28 Paul’s journey and his imprisonment in Rome once he arrives there are examples to us of how to view God’s providence in difficult times. Even though they were in peril, Paul, as the one with an eternal hope, carried on in faith, trusting that the Lord could use him to minister to the needs of those around him. How do we act when in trouble?
