Acts 28:23-31
Today’s reading comes from the conclusion of the Book of Acts, Luke’s second volume about the Jesus and his message about the Kingdom of God. We find Paul under house arrest at home. I’m struck, though by how people still flock to him, to hear him speak, and then debate about what he has to say. Even with the significant challenge of being confined, he still preaches, following the same pattern he has all along, of speaking to Jews and then to Gentiles.
From this we might learn something about grace. God’s grace in our lives may not remove every obstacle and every difficulty, but it is that which helps us to continue on each day, living in and proclaiming a message of hope.
- Matthew Kieswetter
