Summer Devotional:
​No Other Name - A Devotional on the Book of Acts

Day 53– July 29, 2021
Read Acts 28:17-31

Helpful Background
“Luke recounted nothing of Paul’s trial or hearing before Caesar. There does not appear to be any first-century evidence for a procedure permitting a case to lapse automatically by default. It may have been that his accusers never appeared or it may have taken two years for his case to clear the courts. Whatever the precise circumstances, Paul was released after two years and then had an opportunity to continue his ministry in the Mediterranean world until his death in the spring of A.D. 68. The exalted Lord had poured forth the Holy Spirt and enable a witness to Jesus Christ that neither death, persecution, corruption, shipwreck, lies nor hostility could hinder.”
