Paul takes an opportunity in front of everyone that is accusing him and wanting him dead to share his testimony. We know that our testimony is a very powerful tool in spreading our belief in Jesus. The text doesn’t tell us that anyone in the audience on this day was saved but I’d like to believe that their were some that heard Paul testimony and accepted Christ into their hearts.
Membership had its privileges, American express has had that tag line for a long time. Paul really does make out well here that he is a roman citizen. I’ve little doubt that were he not a Roman citizen he would have been killed their in the street. Its incredible how much of a difference their is with the jailers when the find out he’s a Roman. When we are out an about and get into any trouble if we mention that we’re from Guthrie, Ok. that doesn’t carry any weight, fortunately we can say that we are the children of the all mighty God that created this entire universe and that taking up arms against is like taking up arms against God himself. God is a good father and like any good father he hates to see his kids hurt. We can rest in peace knowing that God is on our side and looking out for our best interest.
