Good day, everyone! Today, let's delve into Acts 28, the final chapter of Acts, which beautifully illustrates God’s providence and the unstoppable nature of His mission through Paul’s journey to Rome.


Acts 28 begins with Paul and the other survivors from the shipwreck reaching the island of Malta. The islanders show extraordinary kindness, and while gathering firewood, Paul is bitten by a viper. The locals expect him to die, but Paul shakes the snake off into the fire and suffers no ill effects. Amazed, they believe he must be divine. Paul uses this opportunity to heal the island chief’s father and many others, demonstrating God’s power and grace. Even in unexpected and adverse situations, God can use us to display His power and love. Paul’s faith and God’s protection turn a potential disaster into a powerful testimony.


After three months, Paul and his companions set sail for Rome. Upon arrival, Paul is allowed to live by himself under guard. Despite being a prisoner, his influence and mission continue undeterred. Paul’s journey to Rome fulfills God’s promise and opens new opportunities for the gospel. God’s promises are steadfast. Paul’s unwavering faith and mission show us that no matter the circumstances, God’s plan will always prevail.


In Rome, Paul calls together the local Jewish leaders to explain his situation. Some believe his message, while others do not. Paul boldly proclaims the kingdom of God and teaches about Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance, even while under house arrest. Paul’s steadfastness in spreading the gospel, despite imprisonment, teaches us the importance of perseverance and dedication to God’s mission. He uses every opportunity to witness, showing that the gospel cannot be chained.


Acts 28 is a powerful reminder of God’s providence and the unstoppable nature of His mission. From surviving a shipwreck to ministering under house arrest in Rome, Paul’s journey illustrates unwavering faith, divine protection, and the boundless reach of the gospel.
