Roman’s Rescue Paul

---

ACTS 23:11-22
In Acts 23, the Lord uses the Roman Commander to save Paul AND Paul’s own newphew - lets read

---

In Acts 23, after an attempted murder plot against Paul is foiled,
Roman Commander Claudius Lysias sends Paul under heavy guard to Governor Felix in Caesarea

Paul’s newphew overhears a plan to ambush Paul and to murder him
40 Jews vow not to eat or drink until thay have succeeded
He reports this to to Paul. Paul asked a centurion to take his newphew to the commander

---

ACTS 23:23-35
The Roman Commander, Claudia Lysias protected Paul
by ordering
200 SOLDIERS
70 CAVALRY
200 SPEARMEN
to take Paul to Caesarea at 9 the night to Felix the governor

MEMORY VERSE
ACTS 23:11
The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said,
“Take courage!
As you have testified about me in Jerusalem,
so you must also testify in Rome.”

---

PSALM 28:7
The Lord is my strength and my shield;
    my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
    and with my song I praise him.

So even though Paul was been taken from prison to prison - he knew that the Lord had a plan and was in control

As Paul knew the Lord told him that he would get to Rome - he knew he was safe

(No one was going to end Paul’s life on this earth until God’s purposes for Paul’s life were complete.)
