Paul had just been told that bonds and afflictions were awaiting him in every city that he was going to minister in. That would have scared off the average Christian. No one likes to be mistreated. No one enjoys persecution, yet Paul was told that this is what he would face this in every place that he would preach. What focus. What dedication. For a man to be so committed to the will of God, that he was willing to go through anything. Too many Christians want to live on easy street, yet Jesus told us that the servant was not greater than his master. If they mistreated Jesus, then they will mistreat His followers. Jesus was committed to the will of God. Even when He understood the cost, He stayed committed. God would not ask us to do something that He was not willing to do. Let’s not let God down. Let’s stay committed to God, no matter what, it is all worth it in the end.
