Thank you for watching, today’s reading. This is a special edition daily reading for Monday and Tuesday November 4 and 5 2024 from Acts 21:26 to 22:21. I will be working as an exit pollster on election day, so in this episode of our daily reading and devotional time we cover days 91 and 92 of our 102 days reading through Luke and Acts. Paul gets a mob stirred up as they findout that he took Gentiles into the temple, leading to his arrest. Roman soldiers are dispatched to restore order and get to the bottom of the situation, but that is impossible due to the mob members all telling different stories (we find out that Paul is multilingual). With permission of the Roman Garrison commander, Paul addresses the crowd, establishing his Jewish scholarly credentials and then tells his conversion story.

Thank you for watching, today’s reading for Saturday November 2, 2024 from Acts 21:1-25. We are on day 90 of our 102 days reading through Luke and Acts. In today’s reading, Paul's third journey continues from Miletus to Tyre (Acts 21:7-15), and was concluded in Jerusalem (Acts 21:17-26); and Luke's account of these events, although very brief, is of keen interest. The great feature of the chapter, however, is that of Paul's being mobbed in the temple and rescued by the Romans who took him into protective custody, beginning a long period of imprisonment for the apostle Paul, an imprisonment that would not end until Satan had enlisted the Roman Empire as a persecutor of the church.

After the assault on Jason’s house, Paul and Silas are sent to Bera where they find students eager to learn so much that they search the scriptures to verify what Paul taught was true (so much for the notion that correct belief and doctrine are not important). Paul goes on ahead to Athens where he waits for Timothy and Silas to catch up to him and while sight seeing in the city is moved by the idolatry so much that he preachers and debates the philosophers on Maras Hill, If you would like to know more about God’s forgiveness through Jesus Christ and how to become a Christian as the New Testament teaches, contact a church of Christ in your area or email me at 2 Timothy 4.2dot3ATgmail.com
