"You must tell the truth about me in Rome" (Acts 23:11).
God
is looking beyond our here and now - where we are and what we're doing.
He's looking at what lies ahead of us, what he has planned for us.
"The
next morning some Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an
oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul" (Acts 23:12).
We read about Paul. We remember Jesus. Paul's enemies of Christ wanted to kill him, but God had other ideas - "You must tell the truth about me in Rome" (Acts 23:11). Jesus' enemies crucified him - but God turned everything around: "wicked men put him to death by nailing him to the cross. 24 But God raised him from the dead" (Acts 2:23-24).
