Away With Him

Acts 21:36b

"For a multitude of people followed after, crying out, "Away with him!"

I am so blown away at Paul's courage, character and total surrender to our Lord - even in the face of those who would want to kill him. Remind you of anyone? Faithful unto death, even the death of the cross. Of whom else did a crowd say, "away with Him"? Paul was truly a mans man. Here the Jews were out to kill him yet, he still wanted to speak to them. But, where was the church? The same place the disciples were when Jesus was taken....a far off.

In these last days, as we see the signs of His return, may we not be a far off but, ever closer to Him.

The Truth

"And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them from fear and expectation of those things which are to come on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken." (Luke 21:25-26)
