How, through the book of Acts, might we glean a deeper understanding of God’s work in the lives of His followers? What does Acts 28 teach us about God’s kingdom?
This incredible book of the Bible detailed the earliest days of the church and how the Holy Spirit has remained at work in His people’s lives, just as Christ promised. Today, in the final chapter of Acts, we see the continued example of Paul’s reliance on the Holy Spirit as he ministered to and healed those on the island of Malta, as well as his years spent boldly proclaiming the gospel to all who visited him amidst his imprisonment.
Against all odds, the apostle found himself in the city where not even a shipwreck, false accusation, or snakebite could impede his arrival or ministry. Paul’s story in Acts ends with him being found faithful despite all that was stacked against him. Yet even his own faithfulness pales in comparison to the faithfulness of the God who called him on this mission.
