1 00:00:00,540 --> 00:00:02,670 Steve Webb: It was all a part of his plan. 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,300 If you're looking for the Lifespring!, One Year Bible, you 3 00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:10,410 have come to the right place podcasting since 2004. I am your 4 00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:14,010 OG Godcaster. Steve Webb. It's gospel Saturday, and we'll 5 00:00:14,010 --> 00:00:17,130 continue the book of Acts with the reading of chapters 21 and 6 00:00:17,130 --> 00:00:20,430 22. The website is Lifespringmedia.com. and I'll 7 00:00:20,430 --> 00:00:24,270 have contact information at the end of the show. Before we read, 8 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,440 let's pray. Our Heavenly Father, we thank you for our time 9 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,680 together around your word. I pray God that as we read you 10 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,720 would bless us teach us today we pray in Jesus name, amen. Okay, 11 00:00:36,750 --> 00:00:39,060 are you ready, beloved, let's begin. 12 00:00:41,460 --> 00:00:47,460 Acts chapter 21. We said goodbye to them and left. After sailing 13 00:00:47,460 --> 00:00:51,630 straight across we came to cos the next day we reached Rhodes 14 00:00:51,690 --> 00:00:55,170 and from there we went to Patra. There we found a ship that was 15 00:00:55,170 --> 00:00:59,280 going to Phoenicia. So we went aboard and sailed away. We came 16 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,580 to where we can see Cyprus and then sailed south of it onto 17 00:01:02,580 --> 00:01:06,240 Syria. We went ashore it tyre where the ship was going to 18 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,930 unload its cargo. There we found some believers and stayed with 19 00:01:09,930 --> 00:01:13,980 them a week. By the power of the Spirit. They told Paul not to go 20 00:01:13,980 --> 00:01:17,220 to Jerusalem. But when our time with them was over, we left and 21 00:01:17,220 --> 00:01:20,520 went on our way. All of them together with their wives and 22 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,790 children went with us out of the city to the beach, where we all 23 00:01:23,790 --> 00:01:27,480 knelt and prayed. Then we said goodbye to one another and went 24 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,650 on board the ship while they went back home. We continued our 25 00:01:31,650 --> 00:01:35,100 voyage sailing from Tyre to Ptolemais, where we greeted the 26 00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:38,700 believers and stayed with them for a day. On the following day, 27 00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:42,810 we left and arrived in Surya there we stayed at the house of 28 00:01:42,810 --> 00:01:45,630 Philip the evangelist, one of the seven men who had been 29 00:01:45,630 --> 00:01:49,890 chosen as helpers in Jerusalem. He had four unmarried daughters 30 00:01:49,890 --> 00:01:53,550 who proclaimed God's message. We had been there for several days 31 00:01:53,550 --> 00:01:57,450 when a prophet named Agabus arrived from Judea. He came out 32 00:01:57,450 --> 00:02:01,080 to us took Paul's belt, tied up his own feet and hands with it 33 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,920 and said, This is what the Holy Spirit says, the owner of this 34 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,850 belt will be tied up in this way by the Jews in Jerusalem, and 35 00:02:08,850 --> 00:02:12,810 they will hand them over to the Gentiles. When we heard this, we 36 00:02:12,810 --> 00:02:16,320 in the others there begged Paul not to go to Jerusalem. But he 37 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,800 answered, what are you doing crying like this and breaking my 38 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,550 heart. I am ready not only to be tied up in Jerusalem, but even 39 00:02:23,550 --> 00:02:27,210 to die there for the sake of the Lord Jesus. We could not 40 00:02:27,210 --> 00:02:30,540 convince him so we gave up and said May the Lord's will be 41 00:02:30,540 --> 00:02:34,590 done. After spending some time there we got our things ready in 42 00:02:34,590 --> 00:02:38,640 left for Jerusalem. Some of the disciples from Surya also went 43 00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:41,400 with us and took us to the house of the man we were going to stay 44 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,180 with Mason from Cyrus who had been a believer since the early 45 00:02:45,180 --> 00:02:48,930 days. When we arrived in Jerusalem, the believers 46 00:02:48,930 --> 00:02:53,070 welcomed us warmly. The next day Paul went with us to see James 47 00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:56,520 and all the church elders were present. Paul greeted them and 48 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,010 gave a complete report of everything that God had done 49 00:02:59,010 --> 00:03:02,700 among the Gentiles through his work. After hearing him they all 50 00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:06,660 praised God. Then they said, Brother Paul, you can see how 51 00:03:06,660 --> 00:03:10,080 many 1000s of Jews have become believers, and how devoted they 52 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,020 all are to the law. They have been told that you've been 53 00:03:13,020 --> 00:03:16,200 teaching all the Jews who live in Gentile countries to abandon 54 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,990 the law of Moses telling them not to circumcise their 55 00:03:18,990 --> 00:03:22,620 children, or follow the Jewish customs, they are sure to hear 56 00:03:22,620 --> 00:03:25,680 that you have arrived, what should be done, then, this is 57 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,770 what we want you to do. There are four men here who have taken 58 00:03:28,770 --> 00:03:32,070 a vow, go along with them and join them in the ceremony of 59 00:03:32,070 --> 00:03:35,430 purification and pay their expenses, then they'll be able 60 00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:39,000 to shave their heads. In this way, every one will know that 61 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,700 there is no truth in any of the things that they have been told 62 00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:44,670 about you but that you yourself live in accordance with the Law 63 00:03:44,670 --> 00:03:47,430 of Moses. But as for the Gentiles who have become 64 00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:50,520 believers, we have sent them a letter telling them we decided 65 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,640 that they must not eat any food that has been offered to idols, 66 00:03:53,730 --> 00:03:57,210 or any blood or any animal that has been strangled, and that 67 00:03:57,210 --> 00:04:01,260 they must keep themselves from sexual immorality. So Paul took 68 00:04:01,260 --> 00:04:03,870 them in and the next day performed the ceremony of 69 00:04:03,870 --> 00:04:07,260 purification with them. Then he went into the temple and gave 70 00:04:07,260 --> 00:04:10,080 notice of how many days it would be until the end of the period 71 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,230 of purification, when a sacrifice would be offered for 72 00:04:13,230 --> 00:04:16,350 each one of them. But just when the seven days were about to 73 00:04:16,350 --> 00:04:19,860 come to an end, some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul in 74 00:04:19,860 --> 00:04:23,520 the temple. They stood up the whole crowd and grabbed Paul, 75 00:04:23,940 --> 00:04:27,510 people of Israel, they shouted help. This is the man who goes 76 00:04:27,510 --> 00:04:30,330 everywhere teaching everyone against the people of Israel, 77 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,440 the law of Moses in this temple. and now he has even brought some 78 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,010 Gentiles into the temple and defiled this holy place. They 79 00:04:38,010 --> 00:04:41,070 said this because they had seen Trophimus from Ephesus, with 80 00:04:41,070 --> 00:04:44,010 Paul in the city, and they thought that Paul had taken him 81 00:04:44,010 --> 00:04:47,400 into the temple. Confusion spread through the whole city 82 00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:51,150 and the people all ran together, grabbed Paul and dragged him out 83 00:04:51,150 --> 00:04:55,170 of the temple. At once the temple doors were closed. The 84 00:04:55,170 --> 00:04:58,110 mob was trying to kill Paul when the report was sent up to the 85 00:04:58,110 --> 00:05:01,410 commander of the Roman troops that all Jerusalem was rioting 86 00:05:01,890 --> 00:05:05,430 at once the commander took some officers and soldiers and rushed 87 00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:08,430 down to the crowd. When the people saw him with the 88 00:05:08,430 --> 00:05:11,910 soldiers, they stopped beating Paul, the commander went over to 89 00:05:11,910 --> 00:05:15,900 Paul arrested him and ordered him to be bound with two chains. 90 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,040 Then he asked, Who is this man? and what has he done? Some in 91 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,820 the crowd shattered one thing, others something else. There was 92 00:05:23,820 --> 00:05:27,090 such confusion, the commander could not find out exactly what 93 00:05:27,090 --> 00:05:30,330 had happened. So he ordered his men to take Paul up into the 94 00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:34,020 fort. They got as far as the steps with him, and then the 95 00:05:34,020 --> 00:05:37,110 soldiers had to carry him because the mob was so wild. 96 00:05:37,410 --> 00:05:41,130 They were all coming after him and screaming kill him. As the 97 00:05:41,130 --> 00:05:44,340 soldiers were about to take Paul into the fort, he spoke to the 98 00:05:44,340 --> 00:05:48,420 Commander, may I say something to you? You speak Greek to you, 99 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,840 the commander asked, then you are not that Egyptian fellow who 100 00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:55,320 some time ago started a revolution and led 4000 armed 101 00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:59,700 terrorists out into the desert. Paul answered, I am a Jew, born 102 00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:03,930 in Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of an important city, please let 103 00:06:03,930 --> 00:06:07,290 me speak to the people. The commander gave him permission. 104 00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:10,410 So Paul stood on the steps and motion with his hand for the 105 00:06:10,410 --> 00:06:14,070 people to be silent. When they were quiet. Paul spoke to them 106 00:06:14,070 --> 00:06:14,730 in Hebrew, 107 00:06:15,420 --> 00:06:20,880 Acts chapter 22. My fellow Jews listened to me as I make my 108 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,000 defense before you know, when they heard him speaking to them 109 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,900 in Hebrew, they became even quieter, and Paul went on. I am 110 00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:31,800 a Jew, born in Tarsus in silicea, but brought up here in 111 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,490 Jerusalem as a student of Gamaliel. I received strict 112 00:06:35,490 --> 00:06:38,520 instruction in the law of our ancestors, and was just as 113 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,150 dedicated to God as all of you are, who are here today. I 114 00:06:42,150 --> 00:06:45,810 persecuted to the death, the people who followed this way, I 115 00:06:45,810 --> 00:06:48,840 arrested men and women and threw them into prison, the high 116 00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:51,600 priest in the whole council can prove that I am telling the 117 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,320 truth. I received from them letters written to fellow Jews 118 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,680 in Damascus. So I went there to arrest these people and bring 119 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,610 them back in chains to Jerusalem to be punished. As I was 120 00:07:02,610 --> 00:07:06,270 traveling and coming near Damascus, about midday, a bright 121 00:07:06,270 --> 00:07:09,990 light from the sky flash suddenly around me, I fell to 122 00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:13,980 the ground and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why do 123 00:07:13,980 --> 00:07:18,630 you persecute me? Who are you, Lord, I asked. I am Jesus of 124 00:07:18,630 --> 00:07:23,130 Nazareth whom you persecute. He said to me, the men with me saw 125 00:07:23,130 --> 00:07:25,770 the light, but did not hear the voice of the one who was 126 00:07:25,770 --> 00:07:30,150 speaking to me. I asked, What shall I do, Lord, and the Lord 127 00:07:30,150 --> 00:07:33,810 said to me, get up and go into Damascus. and there you will be 128 00:07:33,810 --> 00:07:37,500 told everything that God is determined for you to do. I was 129 00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:40,710 blind because of the bright light. and so my companions took 130 00:07:40,710 --> 00:07:45,000 me by the hand and led me into Damascus. In that city was a man 131 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,900 named and and is a religious man who obeyed our law and was 132 00:07:48,900 --> 00:07:52,830 highly respected by all the Jews living there, he came to me 133 00:07:52,890 --> 00:07:57,930 stood by me and said, Brother saw, see again, at that very 134 00:07:57,930 --> 00:08:02,490 moment I saw again and looked at him. He said, The God of our 135 00:08:02,490 --> 00:08:06,330 ancestors has chosen you to know His will, to see his righteous 136 00:08:06,330 --> 00:08:09,900 servant, and to hear Him speaking with his own voice, for 137 00:08:09,900 --> 00:08:13,410 you will be a witness for Him to tell everyone what you have seen 138 00:08:13,410 --> 00:08:17,820 and heard. and now why wait any longer, get up and be baptized, 139 00:08:17,970 --> 00:08:22,080 and have your sins washed away by praying to Him. I went back 140 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,960 to Jerusalem. and while I was praying in the temple, I had a 141 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,500 vision in which I saw the Lord and he said to me, hurry and 142 00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:31,830 leave Jerusalem quickly, because the people here will not accept 143 00:08:31,830 --> 00:08:35,760 your witness about me. Lord, I answered, they know very well 144 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,490 that I went to the synagogues and arrested and beat those who 145 00:08:38,490 --> 00:08:41,220 believe in you. and when your witness Stephen was put to 146 00:08:41,220 --> 00:08:44,790 death, I myself was there approving of his murder and 147 00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:48,930 taking care of the cloaks of his murderers. Go, the Lord said to 148 00:08:48,930 --> 00:08:53,670 me, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles. The people 149 00:08:53,670 --> 00:08:57,270 listen to Paul until he said this, but then they started 150 00:08:57,270 --> 00:09:00,780 shouting at the top of their voices away with him, kill him, 151 00:09:00,810 --> 00:09:05,130 he's not fit to live. They were screaming, waving their clothes 152 00:09:05,130 --> 00:09:08,700 and throwing dust up in the air. The Roman commander ordered his 153 00:09:08,700 --> 00:09:11,880 men to take Paul into the fort, and he told him to whip him in 154 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,790 order to find out why the Jews were screaming like this against 155 00:09:14,790 --> 00:09:17,970 him. But when they had tied him up to be whipped, Paul said to 156 00:09:17,970 --> 00:09:21,420 the officer standing there, Is it lawful for you to whip a 157 00:09:21,420 --> 00:09:25,680 Roman citizen who hasn't even been tried for any crime? When 158 00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:28,650 the officer heard this, he went to the commander and asked him, 159 00:09:28,980 --> 00:09:32,730 What are you doing? That man is a Roman citizen. So the 160 00:09:32,730 --> 00:09:36,060 commander went to Paul and asked him, tell me, are you a Roman 161 00:09:36,060 --> 00:09:40,830 citizen? Yes, answered Paul. The commander said, I became one by 162 00:09:40,830 --> 00:09:45,090 paying a large sum of money. But I am one by birth, Paul said 163 00:09:45,690 --> 00:09:48,750 that once the men who were going to question Paul drew back from 164 00:09:48,750 --> 00:09:51,360 him, and the commander was frightened when he realized that 165 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,900 Paul was a Roman citizen, and that he had put in and chains 166 00:09:55,380 --> 00:09:58,140 the commander wanted to find out for sure what the Jews were 167 00:09:58,140 --> 00:10:01,980 accusing Paul of. So that Next day he had Paul's chains taken 168 00:10:01,980 --> 00:10:05,220 off and ordered the chief priests and the whole council to 169 00:10:05,220 --> 00:10:08,790 meet. Then they took Paul and made him stand before them. 170 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:14,450 In Acts 21 today, we got a bit of a travelogue of part of 171 00:10:14,450 --> 00:10:17,210 Paul's journey, didn't we? and the part that I'd like to bring 172 00:10:17,210 --> 00:10:22,010 to your attention is when they arrived at Surya they stayed at 173 00:10:22,010 --> 00:10:24,710 the home of Philip the evangelist. and he, by the way, 174 00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:29,090 is the same guy who baptized the unit in Chapter Eight of x. 175 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,390 We're told that Philip had four unmarried daughters who were 176 00:10:32,390 --> 00:10:36,350 what we might call today, P K's or preachers, kids, and they 177 00:10:36,350 --> 00:10:40,010 also proclaimed God's message. That's pretty awesome that his 178 00:10:40,010 --> 00:10:44,000 kids love the Lord as much as he did. and in addition to raising 179 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,090 his kids to know and serve the Lord, he was evidently an 180 00:10:47,090 --> 00:10:50,210 effective messenger of the gospel because there was a 181 00:10:50,210 --> 00:10:53,630 thriving community of believers their ancestor, Rhea, we know 182 00:10:53,630 --> 00:10:56,210 this because when Agabus prophesied and delivered the 183 00:10:56,210 --> 00:10:59,030 message from the Holy Spirit that Paul would be bound hand 184 00:10:59,030 --> 00:11:03,230 and foot in Jerusalem, a group of those people begged Paul not 185 00:11:03,230 --> 00:11:07,610 to go in this is what I think we should consider today. These 186 00:11:07,610 --> 00:11:11,030 good and loving people who cared so much for Paul that they 187 00:11:11,030 --> 00:11:15,020 begged him not to go where he'd be harmed. We're asking him to 188 00:11:15,020 --> 00:11:18,230 turn away from what God had called him to do. Did you notice 189 00:11:18,230 --> 00:11:21,920 that their motives were good, and that they didn't want to see 190 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,480 their friend and in some ways their pastor come to harm, and 191 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,480 their pleadings were effective enough that they pro Paul's 192 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,410 heart, he agonized with him, and maybe was even a bit tempted to 193 00:11:33,410 --> 00:11:37,400 heed their cries. But his reply to them revealed an even higher 194 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,360 and better motive, he said, I am ready not only to be tied up in 195 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,840 Jerusalem, but even to die there for the sake of the Lord Jesus. 196 00:11:45,230 --> 00:11:50,060 Wow. His aim was truly to follow God's leading the Holy Spirit's 197 00:11:50,060 --> 00:11:53,510 message to Paul through Agabus was not to dissuade Paul from 198 00:11:53,510 --> 00:11:58,340 continuing on, but to prepare him for what lay ahead. God 199 00:11:58,340 --> 00:12:01,100 wanted Paul and the other believers to know that when he 200 00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:05,000 was bound and delivered to the Gentiles, it was all a part of 201 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,590 his plan. and the response was what I hope ours is when we face 202 00:12:09,590 --> 00:12:13,340 difficult times, maybe the Lord's will be done. There 203 00:12:13,340 --> 00:12:18,740 really is no better way to live than that. and then in Acts 22, 204 00:12:18,740 --> 00:12:22,130 one of the aspects of God in Christianity that some non 205 00:12:22,130 --> 00:12:25,970 believers have a really hard time reconciling is forgiveness, 206 00:12:26,210 --> 00:12:30,140 especially forgiveness of a particularly heinous crime. and 207 00:12:30,140 --> 00:12:34,220 on one level, I understand that difficulty. But today, we read 208 00:12:34,220 --> 00:12:38,060 of Paul's confession to the Lord that he had been responsible for 209 00:12:38,060 --> 00:12:41,630 the rest of believers. and he even held the cloaks of those 210 00:12:41,630 --> 00:12:45,290 who stoned Steven to death. But in spite of those terrible 211 00:12:45,290 --> 00:12:49,400 crimes, Jesus forgave Paul, and even made him one of the 212 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:54,110 linchpins of the church. There's no way we can explain the depth 213 00:12:54,110 --> 00:12:57,140 of God's love for us or his enormous capacity for 214 00:12:57,140 --> 00:13:00,230 forgiveness. But we do have plenty of evidence for the 215 00:13:00,230 --> 00:13:04,970 reality of that forgiveness. If not in Paul, then in each one of 216 00:13:04,970 --> 00:13:09,530 us, none of us deserves the gift of grace that God offers, but he 217 00:13:09,530 --> 00:13:13,280 offers it anyway. If we will only accept it, he takes the 218 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,450 pieces of our broken lives and create something so much more 219 00:13:17,450 --> 00:13:20,630 than we could have you ever thought possible? I'm sure it 220 00:13:20,630 --> 00:13:23,690 never entered Paul's mind that he would play the role that he 221 00:13:23,690 --> 00:13:28,280 has in human in church history. What will God do with your life? 222 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:35,930 Like the song says, I can only imagine Are you willing to 223 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,410 unconditionally say to the Lord, may Your will be done in my 224 00:13:39,410 --> 00:13:42,800 life?
