Like Jesus before him, Paul was not afraid to face those he knew would treat him with contempt when he went to Jerusalem. Like Jesus the enemies of the Gospel had him arrested and beaten. Unlike Jesus, Paul was not silent but openly gave a defense of his faith and the reason for his action (Acts 22). Jesus had changed his heart and the direction of his life. Jesus had set him free from the bondage of the law and from a need to manipulate God and men through observing the law. Paul had only one desire now, to love and serve all people as Jesus did. Jesus is performing the same work in you so that you too can be His bold and effective changed agent where ever you happen to be today. You may not be arrested like Paul but you surely will have an opportunity to love others in Jesus name. Pastor S
