19
I served the Lord with Great Humility
And
with tears,
Although
I was severely Tested by the Plots of the Jews.
20
You know that I have not hesitated
To
Preach anything that would be helpful to you
But
have taught you publicly
And
from house to house.
21
I HAVE DECLARED TO BOTH JEWS AND GREEKS
THAT
THEY MUST TURN TO GOD IN REPENTANCE
AND
HAVE FAITH IN OUR LORD JESUS.
22
AND NOW I AM COMPELLED BY THE SPIRIT,
I
AM GOING TO JERUSALEM,
NOT
KNOWING WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ME THERE.
I
ONLY KNOW THAT IN EVERY CITY THE HOLY SPIRIT WARNS ME
THAT
PRISON AND HARDSHIPS ARE FACING ME.
24
HOWEVER I CONSIDER MY LIFE
WORTH
NOTHING TO ME,
IF
ONLY I MAY FINISH THE RACE
AND
COMPLETE THE TASK
THE
LORD JESUS HAS GIVEN ME--
THE
TAKS OF TESTIFYING
TO
THE GOSPEL OF GOD'S GRACE.
25
'NOW I KNOW THAT NONE OF YOU
AMONG
WHOM I HAVE GONE ABOUT PRECHING THE KINGDOM
WILL
EVER SEE ME AGAIN.
26
THEREFORE, I DECLARE TO YOU TODAY
THAT
I AM INNOCENT OF THE BLOOD OF ALL MEN.
27
FOR I HAVE NOT HESITATED
TO
PROCLAIM TO YOU THE WHOLE WILL OF GOD.
(Acts
20:19-26)
How
many Preachers today
Have
Preached the Whole Will of God
And
are Innocent of the Blood
Of
those to whom they have Preached?
Even
today, the words of Paul
Declare
the Whole Will of God
To
those who read what he wrote
And
Preached.
