Paul knew certain death awaited him in Rome. But it wouldn’t happen before he brought the Gospel to as many as possible. Paul was taken from place to place before being sent to the capital.

What do you do with a man like the Apostle Paul? Roman leaders punted his case back and forth for two years. Paul appealed to Caesar, and ended up in a Caesarea prison. Eventually a new governor appeals to Rome’s king in Palestine, Herod Agrippa.

Taking the Gospel to a resistant culture isn’t easy. Without passion for the Gospel and the Lord, tangible results are hard to come by. The Apostle Paul’s passion was clear, he was willing to die so that his hearers might live.

Jewish traditions were a big deal in Jerusalem. Some new believers insisted that converts to the Christian faith should keep observing Jewish laws. The conflict was sharp, and Paul had to settle an argument that put the outreach of the Gospel at risk.
