Acts 21
records Paul’s journey to Jerusalem,
even though he knows suffering awaits him. The chapter shows obedience,
surrender, unity, misunderstanding, and courage in following Christ.
“Then Paul answered, ‘Why are you
weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die
in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.’” (Acts 21:13)
True obedience is not measured when
things are easy—it’s tested when the price is high.
A surrendered heart cannot be threatened.
Paul said he was
ready to be arrested or even die for Christ.
He had already surrendered his life fully.
A surrendered person is free from fear.
His heart was
settled:
·
His life belonged to Jesus
·
His purpose was to obey, not to be comfortable
·
His calling was worth more than his safety
Paul wasn’t being dramatic. He was being devoted.
This verse reveals the depth of
Paul’s surrender:
How about us?
Do we follow God
only when it's convenient?
Have we
surrendered our plans, safety, and reputation to Him?
Do we let
others’ opinions stop our obedience?
