Confusing (Acts 21:17-22:30)
Chase Replogle
Pastor
Paul finally reached Jerusalem and as expected, there were those unwelcoming to his return. Paul’s attempts to go to the temple are met with a mob and public beating, eventually interrupted by the Roman Tribune and his soldiers.
Paul reminds us that our Christian faith rarely fits into the powers and politics of our world. Yet still, Paul manages to demonstrate that far from being an enemy, he is much like the Jews and the Romans who beat him. We are in this world but never of it—citizens of heaven.
