Acts 21:1-16

  • Paul warned not to go to Jerusalem
    • through the Spirit the disciples urged Paul not to go
      • in contrast to Peter, who spoke against Jesus' prediction of his death in Jerusalem (Mt 16:23)
        • but one is through the Spirit, the other from Satan
        • what makes it so different?
    • through a prophet, the Holy Spirit says, in this way...in Jurusalem
      • hands and feet tied
      • handed over to Gentiles
    • everyone pleaded with Paul not to go
      • this is probably through human
  • Paul willing to give up his life for the name of the Lord Jesus (v13)
    • even though resolved, Paul's attitude towards others was gentle
  • the rest gave up their plead
    • the Lord's will be done
      • in this way they submitted to the Lord
