PAUL INNOCENT OF THE BLOOD OF ALL MEN

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.
