Counting today’s remarks, we have enjoyed a total of 81 Lessons from the Book of Acts! Something from every chapter, of course. And from some chapters, multiple meditations.

And all of these Articles are archived (saved) here for you, should you enjoy going back and reading them again.

I am so grateful for the ministry of Luke in the life of Paul. In fact, this “beloved physician” (Paul’s term of endearment for Luke, quoted from Colossians 4:14) stayed with Paul right up to the end of his life!

“For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. ONLY LUKE IS WITH ME.” 2 Timothy 4:10-11, among Paul’s last words!

In all Luke’s writings, I cannot recall a single time when the man painted Paul in “bad light!” He was a true friend!

What happened after the Book of Acts … to Paul?

We believe he was somehow, eventually released from Roman “house arrest.” Travelled yet again, preaching the Word, only to be rearrested several years later.

At which time Paul then was put to death by a crazed Roman Emperor, probably Nero.

But Luke did not choose to tell us that. He just leaves Paul in Rome “preaching and teaching!” Quoting Acts 28:31, the Book’s very last verse! Somehow I like that a lot …
