Acts
28:30-31, Romans 8:28
“For two whole years Paul stayed
there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. Boldly and
without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord
Jesus Christ.”
For two years, Paul was under house
arrest in Rome, unable to leave his home to preach the gospel. However, he did
not let that hinder him, instead using the resources he still had available to
him to preach the gospel. Many of the letters preserved in the Bible were
written by Paul during this time, such as his letters to Ephesus, Colossi, and
Philippi. His hands were not idel –though he was unable to visit these places
himself, he continued to be a source of encouragement and a teacher for the
early Christian Church. Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that in all things God
works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His
purpose.” God can use any circumstance we are in for good, we just have to be
willing to live a life unhindered by this world.
