UNSTOPPABLE CHRIST
What about those "hungry" dudes who promised not to eat till they KILLED Paul?
We read about them in Acts 23:12, “When it was day, the Jews made a plot and bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.” It didn’t work. Why? Because a string of unlikely events happened.
(...And this is how I'm encouraged to SEE God working in my life)
A boy overheard the plot.
The boy was the son of Paul’s sister.
The boy had the courage to go to the Roman centurion guarding Paul.
The centurion took him seriously and brought him to the Tribune.
The Tribune believed him and prepared “two hundred soldiers, with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen” to take Paul to safety.
Highly unlikely. Strange. But that’s what happened.
What had the hungry men lying in ambush missed? They failed to reckon with what happened to Paul just before they made their plot. The Lord appeared to Paul in prison and said, “Take courage, for as you have testified to the facts about me in Jerusalem, so you *must testify also in Rome” (Acts 23:11).
Yeshua said Paul was going to Rome. And that was that!! No ambush can stand against the promise of Christ. Until he got to Rome, Paul was immortal. There was a final testimony to be given. And Yeshua would see to it that Paul would give it.
You too have final testimony to give. And you are immortal until you give it. WHOOOOWEEE!!
