The unstoppable spread of the gospel (Acts 28:23-31)

 Day 17: Acts 28:23-31

 

 

 

 

The unstoppable spread of the gospel.

 

 

 

Paul, with the hope of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, dedicated himself wholeheartedly to spreading the Gospel.  As a prisoner with no charges, he was brought to Rome and for two years, he stayed in his own rented house, boldly teaching about the kingdom of God and the Lord Jesus Christ to all who came to him (Acts 28:30).  During this time, there was no one to hinder Paul (v. 31).  Without any interference, he diligently testified about the kingdom of God and the gospel of Christ from morning till evening to the many who came to him (v. 23).  Some of the Jews who heard him believed his words, while others did not.  The disbelief of those who did not believe was due to their hardened hearts, dull ears, and closed eyes (vv. 26-27).  Ultimately, because of the unbelief of the Jews, God sent His salvation to the Gentiles (v. 28).  As a result, the Lord accomplished the spread of the gospel, which continues even now.  And when the gospel is preached to the ends of the earth, Jesus will come again.
