Acts 27 - 28 (14th December) - Sky

Acts 27

In this chapter, we see that Paul is traveling to Rom for his appeal to Caser. It describes mostly on the journey to Rome.

We see here that Paul giving advice to the centurion not to sail from Crete, but the centurion instead listening to Paul followed the advice of the pilot. As disaster struck, Paul encouraged them to pick up their courage, for God has graciously given him the lives of all who sail with him.
Paul being a prisoner and to be on trial constantly did the work of God, even through disastrous time. Encouraging the man and giving wise advice, this impacted their lives greatly. A scenario happen where the soldiers wanted to kill the prisoners to prevent them from escaping. Paul earning the centurion’s favor wanted to spare his life and kept them from carrying out their plan.

Acts 28

It’s humorous in a way that Paul even on trial he was still preaching in Rome under guards. After 3 months, Paul arrived in Rome, being guarded he explained and declared to them the kingdom of God and tried to convince them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets all the way from morning to evening.

V30 – 31
For two whole years, Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. Boldly and without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about our Lord Jesus Christ
