I always admire Paul’s boldness when it comes to his willingness to serve Christ at any cost. Verse 13 shows that even though he was warned by the prophet Agabus, he would not be dissuaded from going to Jerusalem, Then Paul answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” Some may look at Paul’s actions as reckless, but the reality is that Paul was willing to lay down his life to reach people with the Gospel of Christ. There are days I won’t even risk my reputation, much less my life. I hope and pray I’d have the courage of Paul if God ever called me to stand up for Him in the same way.
I’m with you, Dino. Paul has challenged us all by saying that. It’s convicting and scary at the same time. I, too, pray for courage and wisdom when opportunities present themselves for me the share the Gospel. May I have the convictions of Paul!
