After Paul made his appeal to Caesar, the local Roman officials really had no choice but to send him to Rome to appear before the emperor. They assigned him with some other prisoners to a Roman Centurion named Julius, and they all boarded a ship to sail to Rome.
The story of this voyage is one of the most exciting in the Bible. Doctor Luke, who was with Paul on the journey, does a great job with the nautical details. Bad weather, storms at sea, throwing cargo overboard to lighten the ship, sailors attempting to abandon the ship, all with Paul telling the crew and passengers not to worry. Paul knew that God meant for him to arrive at Rome, and he had been promised in a vision that all those on the ship would be saved as well. But the ship itself was lost…wrecked off the coast of the island of Malta, although all the people made it safely to shore.
Paul knew that God would take care of him, and was able to encourage those around him as well because of his faith in God.
This is the last Sunday of our Sunday School year. Our fourth graders will move into the fifth grade class the next Sunday, and we will welcome a brand new class of fourth grade children. We’re looking forward to meeting you and spending a great year together studying the Bible!
Tom and Sydney Cook
