Acts 21:1-36

s1e96 Acts 22:1-36

Observations:

• Everyone along the way seemed to warn him about Jerusalem, divine message or did word just move that fast?
• Philip, one of the 7 - assuming deacons from Acts 6?
• significance of mentioning Philip's daughters?
• Agabus - ever mentioned before?
• Into the hands of the Gentiles - like Jesus? Parallels on purpose?
• Why were the brothers in Jerusalem so concerned about "not forsaking the law of Moses"? Protection from other Jews? Are they explaining what everyone else had been hearing as to why he might be in trouble in Jerusalem?
• The vows? What kind? 7 days? 4 men? Significance?

Meaning:

Following and preaching Jesus challenges all traditions - piety or salvation?

Application:

Inward: Do traditions mean more than the cross? Do they mean too little that I'm unwilling to care for a weaker brother?

Outward: Do I disrespect the law by my actions?

Upward: Praise Jesus for sparing Paul as long as he did to give us incredible wisdom in learning how to live in this tension we call the world.
