Paul went to Jerusalem. He knew that the religious leaders were going to capture him, after three years of chasing him. God told Paul that he would go before kings and the Roman emperor to preach the gospel. That road wasn’t going to be easy, but it was his choice. So, in Jerusalem, Paul was arrested and almost killed. The Roman soldiers stopped the crowds and took Paul captive. Paul preached the gospel to Jerusalem and crowds took up stones to kill Paul. The Roman captain sent Paul to the Governor Felix. He preached the gospel to Felix. Still Paul was held prisoner. Because he hadn’t preached the gospel to the Roman emperor. Paul was held for 2 years in Israel. All this time Paul could have been released. But knowing the plan of God, he didn’t. Why? Because we are bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
