Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

A Prisoner for Christ Part 2

April 21, 2016

In Roman times, you were either free or you were a slave owned by a free man. Times have changed by the grace of God, but in Paul’s day that’s how it was. A man named Philemon got a letter from Paul about a runaway slave; it was a letter that revealed Paul’s heart.

The Eclipse Of God
Just as the moon obscures the sun’s light during an eclipse, today’s radical secularism has obscured the light of God. But God’s light still shines—and He is calling us to shine His light in our growing darkness. Is God more tolerant than He used to be? Pastor Lutzer shows how God is both a God of wrath as well as grace; that He is both merciful and just, and both a redeemer and a judge. Deepen your love for our unchangeable God of the Bible and be empowered to proclaim the light of truth in a culture of darkness.

Paul was an able defender of the gospel, even when standing before kings. His passion for truth even caused his hearers to doubt his sanity! Ultimately, Paul appealed his case to Caesar himself, and he was sent to Rome.

The Apostle Paul saw every encounter with people as a chance to share the gospel. Even when he was in prison, he didn’t miss opportunities to tell of his faith. Let’s observe Paul as he stands before Roman authorities to declare the truth of God.

Paul’s ministry in Jerusalem caused his enemies to have him arrested on false charges. He was sent to Caesarea, Rome’s government center in the region. He languished in prison, waiting to answer these charges before King Agrippa. But when he finally got it, Paul seized his opportunity to speak.

Boldness is the willingness to do what must be done no matter the cost. Paul took a stand for the ages atop Mars Hill, telling Greek philosophers the truth about God and the Savior. But how can we be as bold as Paul?

When you stand on Mars Hill in Athens, you’re standing where history happened. Paul the Apostle stood on that same rock, telling the philosophers of his day about the true God. They were the intellectual cream of the crop, but in Paul, in the message he bore, they found their match.

Can the gospel stand up against modern philosophy? It did in ancient Greece. Paul sparred verbally with both Stoics and Epicureans. The truth of Jesus and His resurrection is our message, and we can boldly proclaim it like Paul. Can the gospel stand up against modern philosophy? It did in ancient Greece.

When Paul reached Greece, he was a fearless witness for Christ in a pagan culture. He explained the true God to Greek philosophers. Paul is a role model as to how we must confront the world with the gospel.

Suffering for Christ has come into sharp focus as ISIS brutally kills believers just for following Jesus. The same fate may await us, but our Christian lives have almost been too easy. Do we know how to suffer? Let’s look at Paul’s example.
April 8, 2016
Paul wrote to Philippian believers, while he was in Roman chains. His counsel is blunt: it is given to us to believe in Jesus and also to suffer for His sake. Many Christians like the abundant life, but cringe when suffering comes. Yet this is our calling as believers.
