PAUL IN ROME 1 After three days he called together Sunday, December 17—Acts 27:28, ethe leading Jews, and frankly told Golden Text: them his story, He greeted them as I press toward the mark for the "Men and brethren," and he showed prize of the high calling of God in that he was truly their brother, faith - Christ Jesus. (Phil. 3:14.) ful to their Scriptures, but falsely ac- cused by the Jews of Jerusalem, and The Roman Governor Festus had 'that for this reason he had appealed said to Paul: "Hast thou appealed un- unto Caesar. But he wanted to see to Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou and speak with his fellow Jews, "be - go." And a greater than any Roman cause that for the hope of Israel I am Governor, the Lord Jesus Christ Him bound with this chain." self, lad said to Paul the prisoner in { Courteously they listened. They ap- Jerusalem: "Be of good cheer, Paul: pointed a day for hint to give them for as thou bast testified of• me in his meseage in full, and thus "he ex - Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness pounded and testified the kingdom of also at Rome." Another mighty po- tentate tried to defeat these plans. Scripture tells us that Satan, Christ's implacable enemy, is the prince of the power of the air" (Eph. 2:2), and it is entirely reasonable to suppose that the terrific hurricane that overtook PauI's ship on the voyage to Rome was an attempt of Satan to destroy the life of this great apostle, who was Christ's chief human instrument war - king incessantly and triumphantly a- gainst the machinations of Satan. The twenty-seventh chapter of Acts is one of the great accounts in all literature of a storm at sea. It must be read through to be appreciated. It was written by Luke, whose stand- ing as .a historian of faultless accur- acy, even apart from his divine inspir- ation, has met the severest test of historical scholarship, 'i'here arc certain outstanding facts and lessons in this experience of Paul. Although he was a prisoner, taken on board in custody of a Roman cen- turion, he was so evidently a man of extraordinary character, presence ed s= ucation and cc,ntnron:.e,nse that : h<: was given unusual liberties 'and cour- tesies. The same thing has happened to real Christians over and over again at the hand• of their captors. With more than half the voyage behind them, 'they anchored .at a port in the Island of Crete, called Fier Havens. The dangerous winter season was at hand, and.

Alt exeept Pout, Grod sent an angcl God, persuading them concerning Je- sus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening." Some believed, "and some believed not," From what follows it is to be feared that the treater number re- fused to believe, and thus rejected their own Messiah., the Lord Jesus Christ, Then Paul quoted to them .that. terrible prophecy in Isaiah, in which Godwarned his chosen people Israel:. "Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not! understand; and seeing ye shall see,. and not perceive:" Now came the final blow. "Be it known therefore unto you." declared Paul," that the salvation of God is sent unto the. Gentiles, and that they, will hear it. The tragedy of Ierael, both then and through the nineteen centuries since, is her rejection of her Messiah whom the Gentiles receive as Saviour. But a better day is coming; as Paul wrote in his Epistle to the Romans„ when "all Israel shall be saved," and. "the Deliverer . . shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob."; For two years Paul lived on in Rome "in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him." It takes more than bondage and im- prisonment to stop the testimony of any true, Spirit -filled child of God. For, during those two years, Paul was continually- "teaching those ` things which concerned the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him."
