Acts 27
Pastor Jon Wehner
We’re reading in chapter 27 of a Bible book referred to commonly as The Acts of the Apostles. Yet as I reflect back on our readings, I am tempted to campaign for a new and more descriptive title. How about “The Acts of God through His Apostles”?
Take Paul for instance – another man imprisoned for his zeal to spread the Gospel of Christ. Paul had an appointment to plead his case in Rome. The journey should have been a typical first-century prisoner transfer, but the ensuing winter weather proved to be the ship’s demise. However, as recorded in previous books, God acted through the availability of His apostle.
Paul faced a major challenge to him and his shipmates. I’m encouraged to know that God used the acts of one man (on this occasion) to provide supernatural deliverance to 276 men.
I hope that you’re currently penning your own book – describing ways in which He is using you to illustrate the mighty acts of our King. By the way, I have the perfect title: The Acts of God through Me, authored by (your name goes here).
