Sunday school lesson TOWARD AN UNHINDERED GOSPEL Acts 28:16-17, 21-31 Paul had yearned to go to Rome in order that he might impart to the Christians therein such spiritual help as would establish them in the faith and strengthen them for better and more effective service for Christ. In that strategic center he wanted to devote his physical strength, mental powers, compassionate heart, and numerous talents to the faithful proclama tion of the gospel in the capital city and out to the various parts of the empire. Paul's voyage to Rome was one of thrilling adven ture and grave peril, but the Lord was with him all the way. Ere he reached the city groups of Christians went out to meet him. Their presence and expressions of love thrilled Paul as he realized through them the presence, the purpose, the promise, and the power of God. Acts 28:16-17 How wonderfully God arranged everything! Due to divine providence and the resultant generosity of the Roman officials, Paul was not incarcerated in the com mon prison, but was permitted to dwell in a private house in company with a soldier, to whom he was linked by a chain. Unable to go to any of the seven synagogues in Rome because such freedom was not permitted to a prisoner, when three days elapsed Paul called the leading Jews to the place where he was con fined. In spite of the malice that was in their hearts toward him, Paul explained to them the circumstances of his imprisonment, then preached Christ, the long expected Messiah, to them, and pleaded with them to accept Him as their personal Saviour. Some of them believed on Christ, but the majority continued in their unbelief and their opposition to Paul. Acts 28:21-31 The Jewish leaders pretended that they did not know anything about the case against Paul, inasmuch as the Jews from Judea had not submitted to them any oral or written reports on this subject. Having heard some unfavorable reports about the Christian faith, the Jews deemed it appropriate to hear from the lips of Paul what Christians really believed. Consequently, a day was designated for them to hear what Paul had to say about the Christian faith. On that date many Jews assembled to hear Paul. When the Apostle quoted to them God's Word as recorded by Isaiah in condemnation of their unbelief, delivered his message of warning to them, and con cluded with the climactic words in verse 28, what he had said created an uproar, and in anger they stalked out of the house in which Paul was lodging and witness ing, Alas, they had made the Great Refusal! Paul was detained in his own hired house for two years at the least. Even though he was chained he was not silenced. Instead, he was allowed to speak with the utmost freedom. Though a prisoner, he had a glorious ministry, preaching Christ to the guards who were chained to him in shifts of rapid succession. His gracious character, noble life, and powerful preaching won their admiration and resulted in the salvation of many of them. In the course of their duties, some of these men entered the palace and various others were sent throughout the empire. Thus the Lord gave His faithful servant the opportunity and honor of witness ing through others where none had ever spoken favorably about Christ. Chained continually to a soldier, Paul carried on an extensive evangelistic ministry, and did some of the most important work of his life and achieved some remarkable things. Although Paul was not permitted to go out to others, all visitors had unrestrained access to him. He made his prisonhouse so bright and attrac tive with Christian love that the people would not stay away. Of those who went to see and hear him, many believed and were saved. From Paul's experience we learn the important truth that circumstances need never prevent any Christian from witnessing for Christ. Our work of telling others about Christ and what He can do for them will not be judged by the suc cess that crowns our efforts, but by the faithfulness with which we discharge our duty in bearing a faithful testimony for Him. ++ + The Sunday School Lesson is sent in by Clear Creek Baptist School in Pineville, Ky. and is based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Committee on the Uniform Series.
