Key Verse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014Acts 21:30<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Verse Thought: <\/strong>Read the Key Verse. Remember that in our last lesson, we learned that the people were opposed to Paul preaching Jesus, and they took him. We will learn in this lesson Paul\u2019s response, and what he said to the people who rose up against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasis: <\/strong>To understand that people may not like us when we tell about Jesus (for they rejected Paul and his testimony). It is important that Christians not only remember when Jesus called upon our heart, but that we are willing to share that with others (our personal testimony).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson Summary: <\/strong>After learning of Paul\u2019s third missionary journey in our last lesson, we read that he returned to Jerusalem bringing a report. He told the Christians how God had blessed their journey by the many Gentiles that had been reached for Jesus. The Jews rejoiced with him. However, when Paul went to the Temple, he was accosted by an uprising of the Asian Jews. We ended our last lesson with them laying hands upon Paul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we begin this lesson, we will find that the entire city becomes involved in this uprising, and they drew Paul out of the Temple. As they were beating Paul, the chief captain heard and took Paul, then having him bound with chains. This chief captain spared Paul\u2019s life. Paul was then given the opportunity to share his testimony with the people, including the chief captain. We will learn that a testimony is a personal sharing of when Jesus called upon one\u2019s heart, the response to that call, and what God has done in one\u2019s life since. Paul took time to share, briefly, of the sinner he once was. He then told of the specific call that Jesus extended to him, inviting Paul to become a believer in Jesus. Paul then told of his response to that call. He proceeded to shared with the people what Jesus wanted him to do with his life \u2013 go specifically to the Gentiles and preach Jesus to them. After learning of Paul\u2019s personal testimony, we are going to learn that it is important for each Christian to be able to give his\/her own personal testimony of Jesus\u2019 call, and each response. If you are teaching this lesson to a group, it would be a great encouragement to your students if you were to share with them your personal testimony at a specific place in this lesson. You will then be encouraged to challenge them to come prepared (the next time you meet together to study God\u2019s Word), to share their own personal testimony of Jesus\u2019 call to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Paul gave his testimony, the people still rejected him. Nevertheless, God encouraged Paul. Even when there was a plot against Paul, his life was spared again. The chief captain then sent Paul to the governor, Felix, so his case could be heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
